Today's photos are a series of shots taken of a Ruby Throated Hummingbird preening. I got these shots last summer when I spied her in the chokecherry tree. She spent several minutes cleaning and fluffing her feathers before continuing on with her day.
The Ruby Throated Hummingbird spends her winters in southern Mexico and Central America and returns to Maine in late April or early May. She begins her journey north in February, arriving in southern Florida by late February or early March and follows the blooming of wildflowers up the eastern coastline. She travels as far north as southern Canada.
