Showing Off The Red
Very happy he turned his head & the light caught the red. We get 2 species of hummingbirds here & most of the time you don't know which one they are unless the light catches the color under the throat just right. Either red or purple. This guy is ruby red for sure. Both species just look like a black throat when not in the light.
