20150811 185 SERIES - Ruby-throated Hummingbird.jpg

Our yard

Two images of our very cooperative and somewhat acrobatic young male hummingbird.

Top image: Bent over backwards??......... Actually take a close look and compare with the bottom image.


Taking a bow with its eye now fully open.

This young male hummer visited and took over our back yard for over a week. It became quite used to me, allowing me to get very close. Unfortunately, I have not seen it for several days now and I assume it may have moved on. Hopefully it will return. in the interim, there is an other young one visiting our feeders and flowers; however, it is quite skittish and hard to get close to yet. Maybe tomorrow??
