Ruby-throated Hummingbird

I’ve got a love/hate relationship with these guys, and pretty much hummers in general. While rather fearless, approaching quite closely, they’re often very mistrusting, and the slightest movement can scare one off. They also feed for exasperatingly short periods of time; this guy only comes in to the feeder for five to ten seconds before zooming off, and only visits every thirty or so minutes, often longer. But, when an opportunity turns into a success, it’s definitely worth it.
