Flashed

The male Ruby Throated Hummingbird
flashed his brilliant throat as he was coming in to feed.
He is spectacular.

Beautiful, Sherry. Don't you just love their irridescence?

Dear Deb,
Thank you. I see him all the time but don't take too may pictures of him. I seem to photograph the female the most.
Last night he kept coming and flashing his throat so I just had to take a series of photographs.

Dear Mary,
I did think of you as I was snapping away.
Sometimes it is enough just to watch.
I try to lay the camera down and watch the "movie" and just enjoy.

Hi Mary C,
I do!
He is rather aggressive. Tonight there were six hummers, males and females. Such a flight show.
