Summertime Jewels Remembered

Wingscapes Photo Gallery all-star contributor David from North Carolina recently uploaded a few photos of the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that visited one of his feeders this past summer. This being the darkest period of winter throughout much of the northern hemisphere, images of these little summertime jewels are indeed a welcome sight.

David noted that the series of BirdCam images in which this photo was recorded was part of his experiment in positioning the BirdCam to obtain different, in this case lighter, backgrounds in the images. It certainly helped to bring out the green of the birds feather in this case.
