I only had one decent chance to get photos of hummingbirds this last season and it turned out to be a rainy day. But, that didn't stop the little birds from going about their business and I did manage to get a few photos.
These are all Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds and were all seen on the same day in Central Park. Next year, I hope to spend time with them on a sunny day.
The Hummingbirds really like Jewelweed, so we should plant more of this where ever possible.
I think these are immature males as there is just one iridescent reddish-purple throat feather growing in.
I believe this is a female with no color on the throat and a black tail with white tips.
I had fun spending a few hours with these guys. They have habits and patterns, so I learned to camp out near a flower I liked and wait for the bird to appear. Not a bad way to spend a rainy day.
