Hello all!  After not having seen any hummers since last Saturday, I've had one very chubby visitor around steadily since Thursday.  Looks to be a juvie male (appears to be faint beginnings of a necklace), but I guess it could be a female, since the lighting the last 2 days hasn't been great.  Either way, it is definitely a well-fed ruby throated.  First time I've ever seen a fat roll on a hummer!  ;~)
 
Stay dry, and good birding!
