Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird In a Sunflower

4 Comments

I first noticed this Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird when she flew through my shot of these ornamental sunflowers. I was surprised that there was nectar in a flower head like this to attract a hummingbird.

This is a view of the back side of a nearby sunflower in the same garden. This variety has multiple seed heads on the same stem.

  2. Peter Hillman – Staffordshire, England – I have always had a love for nature and the countryside, and I enjoy photography. I have a particular passion for nature photography, and as a hobby I enjoy capturing moments in time which nature presents to me. I find beauty, wonder, peace and liberation from the modern way of life with its fast pace and stresses by being close to nature. It has a way of soothing the spirit, and calming the soul. All aspects of nature always awaken my curiosity, and never fail to excite and inspire me. All it takes are a few moments to simply stop, have a look around, listen and open up the senses to discover some of the interesting and fascinating wonders of nature. It is a hope that these pages will help in identifying some of these wonders and to further knowledge in these discoveries. It is also a hope to instill appreciation and conservation in the varied habitats and species which rely on them for future generations to enjoy and be inspired by.
