Ruby Valentino on Guard
We've got a hummingbird feeder just off our deck. It is a favored feeding spot for the neighborhood hummingbirds. There is always competition between a few males to protect the feeder. This afternoon, Ruby Valentino claimed the feeder and stood guard protecting it.
He's on a perch we've clipped to the feeder pole. He's kind of dull when the sun isn't on his throat.
His colors really pop when he turns back into the sun.
There are at least three female hummingbirds coming and going with his approval. We love watching them swoop and buzz each other when another male appears.
