Last year we visited Cape May in NJ during spring migration. On first day at Belleplain Forest we got to see our first Hummingbird and we spent some good amount of time viewing and photographing a pair.
A flash of green and red, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is eastern North America’s sole breeding hummingbird. These brilliant, tiny, precision-flying creatures glitter like jewels in the full sun, then vanish with a zip toward the next nectar source.By early fall they’re bound for Central America, with many crossing the Gulf of Mexico in a single flight.
it was so cold this morning, i replenished the hummingbirds' food. the feeder hadn't even stopped swinging before a visitor landed.
I thought this was interesting, the way the feathers on the throat change color depending on the angle of the light.
Juvenile male, at my feeder. An adult female 'owns' the feeder, and she aggressively chases him away. But he does get an opportunity from time to time.
