Noticed a humming bird at the feed station I have for them, one bird when flapping its wings does not make any sound like the rest do. Is there two types of species of humming birds?

Are actually Multiple specie of them. Can appear very similar but slight differences. We have one that is about 1/4 size larger than any others, Female as no throat color and she IS NOISY like a huge helicopter as comes to feed. Several nest up in a Lilac we planted as built the house, their own Condominium Project site. The Ruby throated tend to be possessive and run alternate specie out of the projects.

Hundreds of species. The ruby throated is the first to my feeders every year.
