Male Ruby Throat In Light and Shadow

[birdied]

Steve, thank you starting this Forum !

For many months I have found my garden to be my only place to shoot. Fortunately, I have some hummers that wander through for a visit.
I am always amazed at how the different light can show off the gorget and how the colors change.

Thank you for looking . Your comments and suggestions are always welcomed and appreciated.

Details are exquisite! Haven't seen a male here in eastern PA for a while now... Sure wish they'd stop and visit!

I especially like the first shot. Great expression as well as lovely colors.

Thank you. The numbers are certainly reduced here , nothing like it was a couple of years ago

Great shots!! Unbelievable detail. I wish I could find them perched. Very observant.

Can't get a shot perched on the trees etc. I have a lot at the bird feeder, great shots...

Beautiful! I have been photographing the Ruby's in my yard, but have not see a mature one yet with a colorful throat. Congrats on the great pics.

All very nice images. I really like the posture, expression and just the touch of gorget light on the top image. Nice job!
