Ruby-throated Hummingbirds fly straight and fast but can stop instantly, hover, and adjust their position up, down, or backwards with exquisite control. They often visit hummingbird feeders and tube-shaped flowers and defend these food sources against others. You may also see them plucking tiny insects from the air or from spider webs.

A lovely time of year to watch the hummingbirds and butterflies around the yard. Have a great month.
I’ve got a love/hate relationship with these guys, and pretty much hummers in general. While rather fearless, approaching quite closely, they’re often very mistrusting, and the slightest movement can scare one off. They also feed for exasperatingly short periods of time; this guy only comes in to the feeder for five to ten seconds before zooming off, and only visits every thirty or so minutes, often longer. But, when an opportunity turns into a success, it’s definitely worth it.

It was a first just to see a Hummingbird nest, but now with two littles ones is almost beyond words. I will be going back to see the progress of the babies. Bucks Co. PA.
You're like a rainbow...yes a life time addiction to these jewels who come in April and stay until September mesmerizing me with every move. I have four charms this year darting high and low in breath taking chases and don't be fooled by their size as I watch them chase other birds twenty times their size away from where they want to be. My days this year are winding down watching them as in a few weeks all of them will have migrated south to Central America until next April.
After many battles it appears this immature male has won the battle of the back porch feeder.
Have a great weekend my friends! ~

I don't get many chances to photograph Humminbirds. Thank you Peter Stahl for inviting me out to your garden.

Now that the mature males have left for Central America the young immature males are enjoying the once forbidden flowers that belonged to the males.
Ruby-Throated Hummingbird (female or juvenile?)
I was waiting by a tree near the water which the catbird frequents. This beautiful hummingbird showed up, rested on the branch for a few seconds, then took off... Late afternoon.

No more daily battles with the mature males as they leave for Central America like clockwork on August 31st. Little immature males and females will hang out till October and leave until late April.
I thought "Look through any window" was fitting as this was taken through my back porch window and I have several windows with flowers and or feeders close so I can observe these jewels even when I am inside.
Female Ruby throated hummingbird extracting nectar from a Butterfly Bush. The females are not as colorful but are still striking. The detail of the green on their head and neck is amazing up close.
My dominant male ruby throated hummingbird Night Light back again for his second year ruling the back yard flowers. He has rivals but no one has taken his spot. In a month his immature offspring will show up at the flowers. He is the only hummingbird I have ever seen at the flowers after the night light comes on.
