Reflecting on Hummingbirds...(Archilochus colubris) (Archilochus colubris)

Ruby throated Hummingbird. The two shots are of the same bird, taken about 1 second apart. The bird turning his head a fraction of an inch into the direction of the morning sun made the difference in the color difference in his red 'necklace' and to a lesser extent the green feather color on his head.

What an amazing comparison Gerry. A brilliant side by side showing how different they can appear. TFS!

Amazing how the lighting effects the colors of a bird. Two beautiful images of our Ruby - crowned Hummer.
