Swede’s Photographs

What! Another hummingbird pic?

I actually wanted to post a picture I took today of two hummingbirds. But then I snapped this one that really shows of the iridescent feathers. I'm not sure about the sex, the dark area on could be markings or a young male or it could be just shadow. I'm going with young male, feel free to correct if you know better.

In this photograph, the hummingbird is approaching a feeder on the left. Only the very edge of the feeder is visible in the frame. The background is white masonry stone on the left, white trim, red brick, a white fence. The hummingbird's left side is facing the camera. His head is raised and the long black slightly curved needle like beak points down slightly. The head, back and wing, and tail feathers are a bright iridescent emerald, green. They sparkle like a jewel in the sunlight. His wings are to the rear and the flight feathers are black. Small black feet hang below the bird. The front of the body is a shaded buff color. The bird's face is dark, but the left eye is visible as well as a small white mark behind the eye.
