A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Selasphorus platycercus
This little guy joined us on the deck...he was within a few feet of us, without a care in the world! I think he may be a juvenile? If you look on his throat, he has ONE feather that is glowing red...the rest of the throat feathers may follow??

Wow... Christy... you have great experience.... Thanks for sharing... It feels great when our desired spotted Organism come very close to know what we are...
Thanks Ashish...that's cropped close but I had a light blue shirt on and he actually came within a few inches of me a couple times... maybe he thought I was a big flower! ;-)
