Birds & Blooms

One rainy afternoon

- Lauren Slack WATERVILLE, MAINE

in June, a female ruby-throat took a little break from buzzing around the flowers and feeders to perch on the hummingbir­d swing. She stayed there for some time, and it was fun to grab the camera and capture the moment. I love how fluffed and ruffled her feathers are from the rain.
