    This was taken at the house recently. The wind was blowing hard off the lake giving me a better chance to get the shot. Hope you enjoy the image.

    Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) looks like a juvenile male though it might be a female. Nectaring red bottlebrush (Callistemon citrinus: Myrtaceae). Like a lot of plants it goes by several common names. Some plant taxonomist are placing Callistemon citrinus in the genus Melaleuca.

    RUBY THROATED HUMMINGBIRD

    I think this was a first year hummer. It was very bold and curious about me. Checking me out by hovering and circling around me, then landing very close by to continue its inspection.
