20150731 132 SERIES - Ruby-throated Hummingbird (m).jpg

Our yard

Three images of a male juvie Ruby-throat feeding on our Hosta flowers.

Top Image: Approaching a flower. Note, the Japanese Beetle also.


Going deep for a feed.


Off to the next flower.

And, on and on it goes - darting in, a quick feed and darting off at high speed.
