My Practical Perch
Perhaps not the prettiest of perches, but this Ruby throated Hummingbird has chosen this perch for its practicality.
These dead tips of our climbing rose reach out among the branches of one of our Rose of Sharon trees, and they offer a perfect view of the most treasured and nearby feeder, and act as a sort of blind where Mr. Hummer can perch and keep a close eye on any intruders who also want to enjoy that most treasured feeder!
Taken through the window so not as clear as I'd like. And yes, this is a male, as you can see the darker feathers just starting to show up on his gorget.
