Description
"Rainy Day Hummingbird" by Debbie Oppermann. It had been raining for a few days in Guelph Ontario Canada, but it didn't stop the male Ruby Throated Hummingbird from feeding at the feeder, playing with another hummer in mid air and perching on a vine in the downpour. The beautiful male is unmistakable with its emerald green feathers and iridescent ruby red throat. Its long beak enables it to reach deep into the blooms or the feeder at this time of year, for the nectar it needs to survive. The Hummers are inquisitive and attracted to the color red so will venture quite close to anyone wearing red.

My first thought on seeing this was, "That poor little bird!" So fragile, and yet so tough. Beautiful.

Amazing image Debbie! I love the fact that the hummingbird is completely still and the raindrops aren't! This is a great image!!
