Ruby-throated Hummingbird

Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris

A hummingbird hovers in front of a Buttonbush flower to sip nectar.

I saw this bird on the dam of the Lotus Ponds at the Prairie Garden Trust (PGT), but you can find them using a wide variety of wildflowers and at the sugar-water feeder that we keep at our house.
