Ruby-throated hummingbirds

[Kelly]

From http://www.rubythroat.org:

Near summer's end, young males MAY show one to several red throat feathers but do not get a full red gorget until their first winter.

Who doesn't love spotting a pubescent hummingbird in their back yard?

...back to Kelly's tongue theme:



I wish that I could get a better angle on this feeder. I had to place it out of cat's way, but it regularly has multiple birds feeding.

Not a very good shot, but another tongue photo from this morning:



I do like this one (straight from the camera--no tongue though):

Brenda - fun photos! Sometime when you have about an hour, could you try moving the feeder to a location more conducive to photography? Then just move it back when your hour's up.
