We saw this Ruby-throated Hummingbird while we were hiking one day this week. We have not seen a lot of hummingbirds this year but we enjoyed this one.

A few days ago I was talking to a friend and mentioned that we had not seen any hummingbirds this year. A couple days later, as we were leaving home, and as I locked the door I noticed something very large colorful right by my head. I am talking inches from my eyes. It didn't stick around long but the sound was unmistakenly that of a hummingbird. It did not register right away, but Teresa was a few steps ahead of me and was able to see it bettter. It was so close .. I think it was about to try and get some nectar, perhaps from my ears. I was wearing a red shirt, so maybe the color attracted her.
This week we went to Cox Arboretum to hike with some members of our family. We love spending time with grandchildren and doing it in nature is a win-win. We saw a few butterflies, birds, and turtles. As we were leaving, Teresa captured this photo of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. I didn't have my cameral at that time so I missed it again. I guess I am suppose to be near them, but not photograph one this year. Next time!!!

We were out early one morning this week. The birds were extremely active and I was in my element. I was pleasantly surprised to see this Ruby-throated Hummingbird. What a treat. We do not see them often, but this one was just a few feet away from me. So cool.
The funny thing: the next two days, we saw more hummingbirds. Both of these days we saw them at diffferent locations. One was along the Miami River. We tried, but we didn't get photos.

I totally missed it. I did capture a photo from some 100 yards, but Teresa saw this Ruby-throated Hummingbird when she was much closer. This is a photo she took while he was pitched atop this tree.
I have seen a couple, but have not been in a good place to capture a great photo. She was in the right spot, at the right time.
