Field Notes

Description:

Juvenile male, alternately singing his little heart out and hiding from the other hummingbirds. This is in my mom's garden which has close to 16 that I know of - maybe more. Hummingbirds can flash their color and hide it when they want to, due to the iridescence in their feather

They are just the cutest things! I love the baby males pretending to be all tough and singing a territory and then hiding like that!
