Anticipation (Archilochus colubris)

This sweet juvenile Ruby-throated Hummingbird was a visitor to my garden last September. We had quite a few here focused on feeding to get ready for their long migration. The Salvias like in this photo were very popular feeding stations for these lovely and feisty birds. Can't wait for their return!

Shows there's so much more to hummingbirds than beautiful colours; this lovely photo highlights that fact. I especially love it's little feet! Awesome image Deanne, really..

Nice b&w Ruby-throat, Deanne! Should be seeing these guys in less than a month down here. Anticipation is very high.
