Mr. Hummer

This is a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird. In the sunlight, the black throat patch reflects ruby red. I'll have to try another day to get the right light. I was fascinated with his hairy legs. :0)

Thank you so very much for your views and comments! This project keeps me sane...or as sane as I can be. :0)
Love those guys nice shot.

Awesome capture ... I just never thought that they would be still long enough like this! His colors are gorgeous, Carolyn. And I totally agree ... this project keeps me "sane" too!

Great shot of him - I love the way you got his green back - spend a lot of time at the kitchen table watching for them (we have 3 that visit) to land long enough to shoot. Love your detail. Wish I could get decent detail when he's in hovering mode.
