Can you see me?
This male was up quite high, gleening for insects, and I thought this was funny the way the sun hit that one spot!

Good eye there Dianne! I didn't notice that when I first looked at the picture. I noticed the golden color on his wing.

Yes, tongue too! The Ruby throats must be 'bulking up' for their return trip as they are more visible lately. Even tasting the Pineapple sage!
Actually, today, I also saw a pair of Plain capped star throats, so thing as 'looking up'!

Patricia--- That must be sorta bitter-sweet for you knowing the rubys are soon leaving, but you still have plenty of other hummers to keep you company.
