Young Ruby-throated Hummingbird

We have many hummingbirds at the feeder right now fighting for a chance to have a drink!
By early fall they’re bound for Central America, with many crossing the Gulf of Mexico in a single flight.

Thank you for your comments and favs on yesterday’s chipmunk and fox statue photo, many people who come into our backyard are surprised at first when they see the statue thinking it’s real!

I rarely see a hummingbird sit still. I guess its resting up for the flight to Central America.

Mine must not know (sure can't tell by the temperature) that the time is drawing near. All they did all day long was play chase - don't think I ever spotted one stop. She looks very peaceful here with nice details
