A Ruby-throated Hummingbird

 

The humming birds enjoy our new feeders and we see the birds throughout our day.

 

This image was taken in Central Massachusetts.

 

We have a ‘run’ for our domestic house cat Rocky.

Having a run keeps him from wandering out of the yard and into a street.

 

The run has a cord that measures 3mm (or 0.118”) in diameter.

 

The hummingbirds like to perch on that cord and I have even photographed them polishing their beaks on the cord.

 

In this image, the hummingbird is both nictitating its eyes and, scratching itself with its foot.
