Aviary: UPDATED

A bird filled morning:

First, a mother duck with eight (?) ducklings just finished crossing Olean Street ahead of me. They headed under the sign (oh, for the camera!) and into the bushes, where they were quite alarmed by my trying to see more of them.

Then, in the backyard, a hummingbird! We've lived here two and a half years and never seen one of these little guys! It was small enough that I initially took it for a dragonfly. It investigated the dandelions and the glass door before heading off.

UPDATE: The hummingbird had to have been a female or immature ruby-throated hummingbird (only the adult male has a ruby throat). They are the only hummingbirds on the east coast.
The ducks are more of a challenge. The mother was the littlest adult duck I've seen, and, as far as I can tell, she looked like a blue teal. They look possible, but awfully rare, locally. If you know about ducks and have a thought, send in a comment!
