Ruby Throated Hummingbird at Governor Bridge Natural Area.

I stayed up late last night (Online pool, my guilty secret), so I got a late start and didn’t take my first picture until 9:00.
I met some birders who said they’d done well near the big lake, which has never been productive for me, and today was no different. Then, I wandered down by the canoe launch and found a Hummingbird out in the swamp. I got seriously wet, but it was worth it.

I was photographing this Ruby Throated Hummingbird when he left his perch and flew to a nearby bush. Lucky me.

When birds are in short supply,a dragonfly will do.
