Ruby-throated Hummingbird... focus is a tad soft. I try to get shots of them in flight but away from the feeder which is a bit more difficult. If you want to provide food I suggest planting native wildflowers such as cardinal flower, blue lobelia, bee balm, red buckeye, blue sage. Non-natives that they seem to enjoy include any purple flowered sage... red or purple tubular flowers in general. My complete photo archive is available here.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird sipping on our Firecracker plant!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25–30% of their body weight, and they have long, blade-like wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but backward, and to hover in mid-air, flight capabilities that are similar to insects and unique among birds. Hummingbird hovering has been estimated to be 20% more efficient than performed by a helicopter drone.
This ruby-throated hummingbird was acting like a "feeder guard" protecting the feeders from any usurpers to his territory.

Ruby Farm has been a family run business since the 1850s. On Saturday morning in late summer you can buy vegetables from this location.
It was a nice morning, as Allen (asparks306) and I were photographing these in his backyard area. These little birds are 'fattening up' for the long journey to the South.

Ruby Throated Hummingbird Green Spring Gardens - I think it was telling me what it thought of my photographing it.
Just after sunset the thick bank of fog that had shrouded Ruby Beach almost all day began to clear so I stood among the rocks and continued making exposures until the light was gone.
Cheers!

A Ruby-crowned Kinglet, eyeing a couple of plump persimmons. This fruit is a favorite of kinglets and dozens of other birds this time of year.

Ruby is also enjoying the cool after her clip! None of my dogs have every attempted to go in the pool, they often run around it chasing each other but never swim or fall in!
