Hello all, I haven't posted anything in a while. It's been hot and the birds have been staying out of the hot sun. Monday was a cooler day (98 degrees) and the Hummingbirds were more cooperative.

This is our newish male Ruby-throated yard boss. He chased out our juvenile male that was around for a while. Thanks for looking in.

Nice shots ! You nailed his throat colors [gorget] in the light just right.

Thanks a bunch Lil, It's nice for him to sit out in the open. He also likes to sit on an interior branch a lot of the time.

Fine set of shots Brad, all are excellent... I really like that second shot, the natural detail is impressive.

Thank you Dave for the kind words. That capture is also my favorite out of these images.
