In case you were wondering...

the size of an adult female ruby throated hummingbird.


She's about the size of two cherry tomatoes, but weighs slightly less. I know because I've held both in my hands. Taken during a break between thunderstorms.

 55-300mm @300mm, f5.6, 1/200, ISO400 w/speedlight

  3. NICE!! I would love to take a photo of them somewhere besides the feeder, but nothing in my yard is attractive to them.

    1. They love any long, deep flower - red is not necessary. And a buddleia bush is great for feeding and as a perch.
