Juvenile Male Hummer
A large stand of Bougainvillea (the size of a 5-car garage) was peppered with buzzing hummingbirds. They zipped from stem to stem, never landing anywhere in the open.
This juvenile male Ruby-throated Hummingbird was an exception. He perched with his tiny legs and tiny feet on this twig for long enough to take several pictures...very cooperatively :-)) He is just beginning to develop the ruby throat that should be completed by August of the year.
