When the Hummingbirds Fly Back to Springfield, Missouri... They're back, and this one was caught by amateur photographer Bob Deroy at his home in Springfield. (We very much appreciate his sharing it with us.) Did you know that the ruby-throated hummingbird is the only one of the 335 hummingbird species regularly seen in Missouri? We learned this from the article "Nature's Helicopters" in the May issue of Missouri Conservationist, and you can read it for yourself here.
