APPROPRIATE NAME - A male Ruby-throated Hummingbird shows it's namesake ruby throat feathers. Many bird species have iridescent feathers. The iridescent colors of the throat of the male Ruby-throated Hummingbird are among the most refined and spectacular colors in all of nature. The structure of the feather surface amplifies one color of light and the surfaces are angled so that they reflect that color in only one direction.
