Busy, Busy Ruby-throated Hummingbirds

It’s been about three weeks since I shared the female Ruby-throated Hummingbird enjoying her winter so far in the Hong Kong Orchid trees along The Broadway in Everglades City.
She is still here to my delight, and I hope yours!

I overexposed this next image but loved the overall bird framing. So I tried my hand at a black and white process, then with two crops. I couldn’t decide which I loved better so I’m sharing both.

By golly, we’ve got great news! This pretty gal now has a male friend who is also hanging around the same orchid trees.
