Ruby-throated hummingbird


Ruby-throated Hummers are intensely inquisitive, quickly becoming accustomed to a human presence and I have certainly found that to be true.

This little guy (and several of his buddies) now regularly visit the feeder located on the window right by my desk. I have dozens of photos but none that really shows off his ruby throat. At least in the vicinity of my feeder his feathers usually appear dark. But on this particular day, the light was just right and I was able to get a photo showing off his beautiful iridescent red feathers.
