Great shot. It looks like a female ruby throated hummingbird. We have tons of hummies. Mom's back porch is like sitting at an airport, she had over 30 one night at her 4 feeders.
If you blow him up (excuse me, I mean the photo by clicking on it, I don't recommend blowing up birds, HONEST) he is easy to spot. I have still NOT gotten one and I had a hummer right by my head last week end, but I had the macro lens on the camera and it just didn't work.
Oh, what fun! I spotted him (green-ish back?) without having to enlarge the pic (go, me!). The flowers are lovely -- we have butterflies all over right now, but my lilacs are still a couple weeks from blooming, so I don't know what they're feeding on in my area...
Great take on the challenge!
I hope that you can pick out the hummingbird, he has his back to me but he is right about center in the picture..The burg color Weigelia is a hummingbird and butterfly magnet..So i have seen one hummingbird everytime i have gone out in the front yard but about an hour ago i saw 2 of them..They took off everytime they saw me so i grabbed a chair and sat out and sure enought one came from behind and one flew over my head and sat on this stick while the other one drank..He kept looking around at me but stood his ground..I have never seen this behavior from a hummer and will enjoy his company for the rest of the summer
