Spotted this hummingbird two days ago, but was unable to get an image. Earlier today, I managed a few shots from a good distance off.
After doing an 'incidental' hummingbird report an hour ago and discovering that eBird categorizes their being a hummingbird in NW Virginia a 'rare' report, I set out on our open back portch with camera on my lap hoping to get another glimps of this guy.
Sure enough, after 20+ minutes he came back, perched on a bare limb of a Red-maple tree and I got several clean shots of him before he went to the feeder again.
The blue areas of both sides of this image are because I took the shot between two white plastic rails of our back porch.
