Ruby Throated Hummingbird

"A flash of harmless lightning, A mist of rainbow dyes, The burnished sunbeams brightening From flower to flower he flies."

--John B. Tabb-this is a composite with three different shots of the same bird.

So beautiful! I haven't been able to catch one male and here you've caught three! I see you got the new bee-proof/wasp-proof feeders. But butterflies can still drink from them which is very nice. =)

Great edit. And the accompanying poem adds to the overall effect

@marlboromaam Thanks Mags... actually these are very inexpensive feeders from Walmart... we were shopping and met someone who uses them and highly recommended them. I think they were under $5. The old, expensive ones started leaking and that was not fun over our front deck. I was so happy to see the ruby today and catch some shots of him... he is stunning.

@ankers70 thanks Suzanne... most appreciated.

Wonderful image! Thanks for the tip about the humming bird feeders. The last one I had leaked and attracted ants.

I love how you put these action shots together. Very nicely done both in thinking of it and executing it.

I'm watching the feeder every day and noticing they're coming in less and less- it's almost time to leave. Stunning composite!
