(Archilochus colubris) The only hummingbird that has a natural range in Vermont. These are my first in my lifetime hummingbird photos and wouldn't you know it? That hair is on the glass!!!
So thrilled to see this guy, I usually only see the female. They are so tiny, it's hard to even get your camera to focus on them!
Our hummingbirds have been very skittish this year, so I haven't had much luck getting any photos. This morning there has been a lot of activity around the feeder, they're probably getting ready to migrate south. Or maybe there are migratory birds passing through?? Anyway, I enjoy watching the hummingbird wars as they chase each other away and around. One of my FB friends (Scott Evers) calls them flying jewels. I couldn't agree more!
Another trip back to Aug 2015 and Ruby Throated Hummingbirds in my garden. Late Aug and early Sept this year seemed to be the best time to capture them. This series is from one or two days in late Aug.

At the Heather Garden in Fort Tryon Park. There were 2 of them, but I think my photos were of the same bird. She was defending her territory from the other.
