Probably the best shot I'll get this year. They have begun their migration back to parts of South America.
Our weather will begin to decline today, tonight and tomorrow morning with lots of wind, rain, and possible tornados since we're on the right side (the dirty side) of Helene. The entire state of South Carolina is under a tropical storm warning, along with Georgia and the western part of North Carolina. It's white knuckle time!
Beautiful capture. We have a few hummingbirds left in this area, but the masses seem to have migrated south. It's amazing they can fly across the Gulf of Mexico where there is no place to stop. Hope you stay safe today with the storms headed your way.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you, Jackie. The males have a bright red ruby throat and the females do not. It may look black if not in the right light. =)
@corinnec Thank you so much, Corinne. Hopefully!
How can you tell male from female??
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I've only seen one male this year. It doesn't mean they aren't around though.
@ludwigsdiana Thank you, Diana.
