Description
"Hummer" fine art photography by Annette Hugen. This little Ruby-Throated Hummingbird was buzzing about in our backyard looking for goodies while I photographed him! I think he really pops against the white background!.
These diminutive birds are particularly attracted to tubular red flowers such as salvia and trumpet creeper. Hummers are also attracted to artificial feeders-red glass tubes filled with sweet liquid. With their remarkable powers of flight, they are the only birds that can fly backward as well as hover in one spot like insects. They are constantly in motion, perching on twigs or wires only briefly to rest and to survey their surroundings, or when they are at the nest. During courtship, the female sits quietly on a perch while the male displays in a pendulum dance, swinging in a wide arc and buzzing loudly with each dip. Archilochus colubris.
