rufous or Allen's male hummingbird begins the bathing ritual. His iridescent gorget is not glinting here, as the light is not reflecting from it, so it just shows up as a dark area on his throat, when really it is red/gold.

thanks again, Cindy, -- just wish the little fella was facing forward so that his throat would be gleaming red/gold

Another of your beautiful shots Alandra, such a pretty capture!

that's nice of both of you, many thanks, Alex D and Vicki. Such a tiny "mite" taking a bath :)

Alndra, he's stunning. I've never seen such splendid colors on a hummer. Gorgeous image, my friend. Vicki

Really stunning colors. Nicely done.

many thanks for the very encouraging comments, Alan and Mary. Am happy they are sharper than the previous images, - but too bad these are lacking the beautiful iridescent gorget :) The hummer was facing the opposite direction for these latest images.

Beautiful colors and detail Alandra. Well done!

Hi Alandra, Wow wonderful colors, composition, background, and focusing. I like all the red on this one.
