Male Ruby Throated Hummingbirds in front yard August 25, 2010

My front yard continues to be very busy Orioles (2), Red Breasted Nuthatches (whole family)Cardinals and babies (counted 8 tonight), Baltimore hatches, Downy Woodpeckers (2), sparrows and goldfinches by the 20 and of course my favourite little hummingbirds (6-8). Lots of males chasing off the females. All 4 feeders were busy.


The male hummingbirds were going from tree to tree, feeder to feeder and I just stood there watching. It was raining and the sky was dark but they are just so pretty to watch.





Try and guess what this was??
