Morning Visitor ~ Hummingbird

Was out for a few minutes early with my coffee in the screen room. Already 92 at 10:30 this morning. A hot weekend no doubt. Had my phone in my pocket. I slowly went out to the deck and snapped a few pics of the hummingbird visiting the deck feeder. He did not seem to mind. Usually they fly away. Got lucky with this shot. A male ruby throated hummingbird. Love to see the bright red spot on his throat in the sunlight. Hope to get more pics soon.

You might be right. It is so hot, I have always tried to figure out a way to fix some type of umbrella to go over the feeder, to keep it cool. Crazy bird lady here.

You do the same. Do you have a feeder up for the birds?

Your camera captures better photos of birds than my little camera. Sweet!
