Ruby-throated Hummingbird

The iridescent throat of the male Ruby is prominent here. It is not a pigment, rather is reflected by precise microscopic structural features of the feather surface.

Love when you can catch the male - don't stay still very often. Interesting to learn what causes that ruby throat.

Great shot. Your pov in this capture really brings to the fore his ruby throat.
