A Ruby-throated Hummingbird
The humming birds enjoy our new feeders and we see the birds throughout our day.
This image was taken in Central Massachusetts.
With this particular image, the camera's focus went to the branch that the bird clings to, but I still like the image due to the extension of the bird's tongue.
7.12.2008. Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Archilochus colubris Order APODIFORMES - Family TROCHILIDAE - Subfamily Trochilinae
. Near Springfield, TN.
again, I wonder if this is a juvenile male or a female. The neck markings appear to be green. Taken in the Chicago suburbs in September 2014.
f/7.1, 1/50th, FL310mm, iso800
Canon 40D with 100-400mm f5.6
Shot on my back porch on a rainy day using tungsten video light with blue gel. The ruby throat patch only shows up when the bird turns toward the light. It is more evident in videos.
I also shot video of the little hummers using my XHA1. It is posted on www.vimeo.com/revcurmudgeon
This set is a special thank you to my wife Toni for all the research and work she has done to create a wonderful Hummingbird/Butterfly garden in our new house of 2010. This summer all of her work has paid off with the continued apprearance of a male and female Ruby-throated Hummingbird. We have also seen a second female in the yard at the same time. Thank you Toni!

Watching a female flit around paid off as she alighted on a nest. Out over the water there was not any chance of getting close. She chose a very safe spot :)
No ruby on the female Ruby-throated Hummingbird.

I think I was trying to get a kingbird or a sandpiper when this flew by. I didn't have enough time to switch to settings better suited for hummingbirds, but I still liked how this turned out even with the blurred wings.
