There are immature ruby=throated all over... and most of them are very comfortable in front of the camera
Monarda still seems to be the top choice of this year's hummers, with cuphea ignea 'David Verity' and all of the salvias running a close second. I watched one of the young 'uns work over all of the near-black blooms of salvia discolor yesterday... but no camera in hand. My summer quest is now to catch one feeding from discolor... I really like that plant!
Hope everyone is having a great "hummer-summer"!
