I spent most of the day trying to get what I consider one of the toughest photos of birds - a hummingbird at a flower - not a feeder. Here is what my efforts turned up. Not bad but I will do better. Going to try again tomorrow.

Nice try! Agree, their photos look much better at flowers (natural) than feeders (artificial).

Good job! In Pennsylvania, I assume it is a Ruby Throat.
Is that Salvia "Black and Blue"?

Yes on both counts! It is a female Ruby Throat and it is Salvia "Black and Blue". You are on the ball this morning!

Nice shots! I like the second one best cause it really lets you see how tiny these birds are. Thanks for sharing.
