I can't help myself. I've combined my SkyWatch and my Friday's Feathers post. Again.
Today's Friday's Feathers belong to a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird taking a break between hits at the feeder:
Oh, yeah - and get a load of that sky!

Awww...cute little hummingbird and I won't have any here for a few more months...sigh....
brilliant captures both!!! lovely!
Beautiful photos. I like birds.
Hummingbirds must be hard to photograph! I have never seen a hummingbird in my yard. We must not have the right kind of trees or flowers for them.
What lovely photos...wonderful contrasts of tones and light.
Beautiful. That long beak is very impressive. Are they a permanent fixture in your yard or do they migrate? (we don't have humming birds here at all)
what a sweet looking bird and a warm sky in the backround.
thanks for visiting mine.
Unfortunately, Archie, they do migrate. Hummingbirds, in general, are unique to the Western Hemisphere. They're nectar drinkers, with the occasional small insect for protein. Hence, the proboscis. They live primarily and breed in the north, and migrate for the winter down our way, and to Cuba, Mexico, and even South America.
I'll keep my nectar feeders up till probably the end of March, which will make me sad...
Frget about the sky, I looove the Hummingbird!
