Ruby-throated for Ruby Tuesday
Even in the semi-darkness of the .jpg)
foliage the ruby throat of this Ruby- throated Humming -bird radiates a message of its presence. It is only the male of this species that has the brillant red throat. The Ruby-throated is the only hummingbird that breeds in eastern North America.

What an elegant bird. Majestic. Such a wonderful combination of greens, a bit of blue(?), white, yellow, black, and of course that bright red.
Very nice bird-pics with lovely srene colours and light :)
This is the plumpest little fellow I have seen. Those that stop at my feeder seem much slimmer. Maybe I'm not feeding them enough.
These are marvelous pictures!
Beautiful pictures, so many colours. I have never seen a hummingbird perched like that.
Lovely! I always seem to get pictures of the female. That last picture looks like it is sitting in mid-air!
wow! brilliant!
oooh birds! My second favorite critter :) Nice shots.
These are perfect shots for Ruby Tuesday, Ann! And also for me - I've never seen this hummingbird up close and personal! :)
What wonderful colors it has ! never seen such a little bird !
Oh how sweet is that. I love this little birdie. Your photos are fabulous!!
He looks ominous! Wouldn't want to mess with him...
My Ruby Tuesday is here.
Aren't those ruby throats amazing? I've got one that frequents my feeder but it's hardly this plump and I haven't been able to get any this great. Great job!

I love the drone hummingbirds make.
You just never get enough of these little jewels. I'll sure miss them when they are gone for the summer. Wonderful pictures Ann.
What can I say - I adore these little ones!
Cheers, Klaus
Fantastic shots of a beautiful bird. I think a trip over the pond is long overdue.
He's beautiful! Love the shot of him peeking out from the shadows!
Great photos of all his bling!
In the first photo, the red throat is about the only recognizable thing in the dark It is as attention getting as neon!
The other colors on this bird are nearly iridescent. Overall a great looking bird!
WOW great shots you are so lucky to see these birds.
Wow! What wonderful photos!
What a beautiful little bird. You did a great job of capturing its colors -- even the iridescence on some of its feathers. Excellent Ruby Tuesday post!
Great photos Ann..I have blurry ones. My feeders need changing every 3 days with the heat....
