Took this today in my backyard, weather has been bad all day, cloudy, with a little rain here and there.....this guy is one of the originals...he has been in my backyard since the first feeder was put up, which shows because he is beat and just recently just broke his beak! which is why his toung is showing.

What do you think, its my first shot of a hummer stretching....
20D

Thanks for looking

Nice catch Blake. How did he break his beak? Do they recover from that?

Thanks mitch and michele....I dont know how he broke it but, he seems t be doing fine, there are a LOT of hummingbirds in my backyard and they are constantly going at it so im sure it happened when he was in a scramble with one of his friends....
