Ruby-throated hummingbird

At home

There are now two hummingbirds visiting the garden. This one spent a few seconds prodding the yellow clothesline with his bill, before giving up (not a flower after all!) and perching on it for a few seconds. I was sitting on the steps not far away and got one shot. It is a real delight to see these swift-flying, tiny, beautiful birds, and I never tire of it. In addition to the feeder, they also investigate the various flowers and were even nectaring on the tall stalks of flowers arising from the Coleus plants.

Super capture of this juvenile male. We have been enjoying them too as they zip around my garden flowers with an occasional stop at the sugar feeder on the deck! VV

Excellent sharp shot Christine. I have one, sometimes 2 and sometimes 3 in my backyard, but the resident one seems to always chase the other two away. .
