ISO 1000

This juvenile was feeding at a Blue Cardinal flower, which is a native species here in the Province of Ontario. Besides red and orange coloured flowers, blue seem to be a colour the hummingbirds are attracted to, as well.

Thanks to everyone for viewing.

So nice to see some lovely colour and blooms as the drearyness of winter approaches. Beautiful shot Paul!

Such a pretty setting Paul and I love the iridescence green in the body of the bird.

Just lovely-a real charmer. I had no idea that the cardinal flower came in blue! Cool!
