Rufous...

Hold that pose...

Turn around and show us

 your beautiful feathers on your back...

Spread those feathers...

Yikes...
I don't know what that pose is...

Wings down...

Preening...
 As all females like to do...

~ Stay safe ~

Joyful...

 

A joyful sight is when...

you can watch the smallest...



 

of creatures...

 

spend an hour...

 

preening...

 

cleaning...

 

 

removing parasites...

 

and drying their tiny feathers.

 

She's ready for flight...

Jewels of the Sky...

 

Rufous Hummingbird...

 

Male...

 

And the females...

 

 

They definitely are jewels of the sky.

Hummers...

 

I hope you all enjoy the photos!

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favorites,

sitting on the end of an antler on the deck.

Hummingbirds...

 

I've been taking lots of photos of these beautiful

 Rufous Hummingbirds these past few weeks.

 

 

I hope you enjoy these little jewels.
