Well, Ron, that depends upon the translation of bee eater! It's a ruby-throated hummingbird; I think a young male since it's substantially smaller than the females hanging around. Ours are wary of even tiny bees even though they will hover inches away from an adult human and scold as we fill the feeders.
You seem to have trained hummers or maybe they have trained you, wonderful shot. The rufous hummers here have already left for their very long migration.
Recently relocated. Owner of a massive pile of boxes, full and empty. Telecommutes most of the time so the "office" is anywehre I have a great internet connection and my portable hard drive.
Great capture, looks like a bee eater, is it?
ReplyDeleteGood catch -- he sure is hard to see!

I can see how you lost him, he is a small little guy! I am so glad you found him again, humming birds are one of my very favorites!!
ReplyDeleteI love trying to get a good photo of hummers. This turned out quite good.
