Male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird in Flight
This photo represents the avatar image of a male ruby-throated hummer in flight. The red collar is reflecting red light waves optimally without reflecting too much light. The bird displaying it’s tail feathers boldly, in dominant fashion. If I were a hummingbird, this specimen would be my mentor.
