Spotted this female Ruby-throated Hummingbird in the backyard today. She was so fast but took a few seconds of rest on the wires above. Lucky to get a photo with her tongue out! :) I suppose cleaning herself after getting nectar from the Buddleia (Butterfly) Bush. In case she comes back, I have my bigger lens set in the camera now with hopes to get a better pic.
