Adult female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird enjoys a “big gulp” from feeder…
A lot of patience and skill went into capturing this female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird.
The photographer saved just 2 out of 500 shots. This busy little hummer was a bundle of energy, and finally came to rest on the feeder..
She’s quick…
I’m determined……

Ruby-throated Hummingbird: All Grown Up!
