This female Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) must have been feeling tired or lazy yesterday afternoon at Huntley Meadows Park. Rather than going in through the opening in the trumpet vine flower and helping to pollinate it, she opted to drill in through the side of the flower to get to the nectar.

She knows where the good stuff is 🙂
That is an exceptional shot!
Thanks, Sue. I’m happy whenever I can get a hummingbird shot in focus. This one helped by perching for a second in the midst of its hovering.
