Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Eagle Creek Park, Indiana. Still working through things on getting a perfect frozen-wing shot of a hummingbird using a single flash (I only own one). This is my best attempt yet with very little "ghosting".
The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.
This hummingbird is from 7 to 9 cm (2.8 to 3.5 in) long and has an 8 to 11 cm (3.1 to 4.3 in) wingspan. Weight can range from 2 to 6 g (0.071 to 0.212 oz), with males averaging 3.4 g (0.12 oz) against the slightly larger female which averages 3.8 g (0.13 oz).[2][3] Adults are metallic green above and greyish white below, with near-black wings. Their bill, at up to 2 cm (0.79 in), is long, straight, and very slender. As in all hummingbirds, the toes and feet of this species are quite small, with a middle toe of around 0.6 cm (0.24 in) and a tarsus of approximately 0.4 cm (0.16 in). The ruby-throated hummingbird can only shuffle if it wants to move along a branch, though it can scratch its head and neck with its feet

The ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) are really numerous this year! I'm having to fill the feeders every day.

Bee balm (Mondarda didyma) is a native mint that is strongly dependent on ruby-throated hummingbirds for pollination. Note the strategic placement of the anthers and pistils.
The other night I let Ruby sleep on my bed with me, and it wasn't so bad. So I've kind of let her do it every night for almost a week now. She's getting bolder now -- she starts at the bottom of the bed, and eventually ends up with her head on my pillow, snoring right beside me. I just slid out of bed this morning, grabbed a nearby camera and took this shot. That's my pillow her face is on, even though there's another one beside it.
