Description
An immature Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris, drinks in the nectar of a favorite flower, the black and blue salvia. Although only one bloom remains, there is no limit to the amount of nectar this beautiful Ruby-throated Hummingbird will obtain from this lovely bloom all while balancing in flight. The early morning sun reflects through those lovely wings that beat approximately 50-53 times a second. The beautiful Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are eastern North America's only breeding hummingbird.

Another superb piece of imagery Christy. The soft background with its colours totally and nicely compliments the Hummingbird with its position against the blue salvia. So awesome. Great photography technique that shows well in this image.
