Description
Here are 3 shots taken in quick succession of a young male Ruby-throated Hummingbird. His red neck plumage has just started to come in. I thought the 3 of them needed to be posted together so I made up this layered image.
In the top shot, his head was turned just enough to lose the red reflected light that gives the species their name but after a slight turn of his head, the red becomes apparent as the sunlight hits it.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.
