Ruby-throated Hummingbird

MALE RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD, GREEN, MICHIGAN, JUNE 6, 2014

Pentax K-3
Pentax F* 300mm f4.5
1/180 sec. f10 with on-board flash
ISO 400

Our cabin is swarmed all day by ruby-throats, male and female, but so far this year I haven't yet been able to capture one in the right light to show the ruby red of the male. In the wrong light they can be mistaken for black-chinned hummers.
