| A young ruby-throated hummingbird finds the sweet nectar to its liking as it investigates monarda in northern Durham County. Also known as bee balm or Oswego tea, Monarda didyma, a member of the mint family, has leaves that make a fragrant tea and is as attractive to humans as to hummingbirds. The ruby-throated hummingbird, a common species that breeds in the eastern half of North America, is intensely inquisitive and easily attracted to feeders. Males can be extremely territorial toward rivals, other bird species and even insects such as bees, butterflies and sphinx moths.
