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.
