My Best Pic Showing the Throat Patch

            Birders will know how difficult it is to get this close to a hummer, and how difficult it is to capture the brilliantly coloured throat patch, as I did here.  I feel very blessed for the opportunity.  I had a lot of luck on this day.  Enjoy the image.
