And the rainy days go on, and on , and on- - - and on and on. I have so MANY Hummingbirds coming to my feeders now, and yet all I can get are wet, wet, wet photos. (see her little tongue?)

Ruby Throated Hummingbird

A ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) rests after feeding at jewelweed in the Native Flora Garden at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Hummingbirds are among the smallest of all birds and can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings. They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which sometimes sound like bees or other insects. They are the only group of birds with the ability to fly backwards.

Anna's Hummingbird, calypte anna, is native to the west coast of North America and is 3.9 to 4.3 inches (10 to 11 centimeters) long. It has a bronze-green back, a pale grey chest and belly, and green flanks with a long, straight and slender bill. The adult male has an iridescent crimson-red crown and throat, and a dark, slightly forked tail. Females and juveniles have a green crown, a grey throat with some red markings, a grey chest and belly, and a dark, rounded tail with white tips on the outer feathers. It was named after Anna Masséna, Duchess of Rivoli by the French naturalist René Primevère Lesson.

I've finally had a Rufous Hummingbird to my feeder. We have Anna's Hummingbirds at our feeder regularly, but it's great to see the feisty Rufous here too! It's a bit blurry - this is shot through our front window.
