Ruby-throated Hummingbird

Archilochus colubris

Hummel Nature Trail

Hummelstown, PA

 

Oh. Somehow forgot I took this one a while back, which is kind of surprising given what a big discovery this place was. No idea how I'd slept on it for so long.

 

In any case, up until I visited here, I've never seen a trail with as much jewelweed growing in the swamps, and by extension, as many ruby-throated hummingbirds darting around. My feed's kind of already bogged down with these things, though on this particular occasion, I got close enough to get its autograph, much less a picture.

 

We could really use more than one species up this way.
