20150801 500 SERIES - Ruby-throated hummingbird (m).jpg

Our yard

Two images of male Ruby-throated Hummingbirds perched on one of our two feeders.

Top image: Finally an adult male in breeding plumage. A first for our yard in several years. It was around for several days, but seemed to only feed at the feeders. I've not seen it feeding on any flowers like the juvies. It may be gone now, as I've not seen it for a few days.



A juvenile male at the feeder. (Image taken with the D7200 and 80-400 mm lens at 400mm, ISO 1250.)

The colors and tack sharp details in these images are superb. I have never seen hummingbirds land an stay so still. Terrific captures Hank. VV+
