I feel like I won the bird lottery!!! Relaxing in my hammock after work, I spot a male ruby throated hummingbird. He was hitting up my orchid tree flowers and taking breaks perching on a bare branch in my oak. I didn't actually see the red, so I guess it could be something else, but if a ruby throated is what is at the top of this page, then that is exactly the bird I saw. He stayed in my backyard for at least an hour and a half. I snapped a few pictures of him sitting in the oak with the telephoto lens. Just came back from Lowe's with my new hummingbird feeder and I will be watering that orchid tree daily, and maybe with a little luck I'll be able to lure the little guy back. Zip Code 34232.
