Description
An immature Ruby-throated Humming bird drinks in the nectar of a black and blue salvia plant. There is no limit to the amount of nectar this beautiful Ruby-throated Hummingbird will obtain from this lovely plant as he tastes from each bloom all while balancing in flight. The mid-day sun reflects through those lovely wings that beat approximately 50-53 times a second. The beautiful Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are eastern North America's only breeding hummingbird.
