The ruby-throated hummingbird is small – about the size of a sparrow or smaller. While the back and top of the head are an emerald or yellow-green, the underparts are grayish white. These birds get their name from the fact that the male has a bright red throat; however, the female (seen here) does not. This girl was visiting my zinnias – unusual for these birds as they prefer tube-shaped flowers. She did seem to find the zinnias tasty, though, as she kept coming back. I took this picture and others through my kitchen window so as not to disturb her by going outside. She beat her wings so rapidly while hovering to sip nectar that I didn’t realize what she was until I downloaded my photos; I thought she was a sphinx or hummingbird moth.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
