Description
Of course the wings are there, but you may need zoom view to see the fuzzy spot in the center of his side where his wings are.
The male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird really does have lovely scalloped gorget (neck) feathers, even though they aren't shining red or orange in this shot. The sun has to hit them just right for them to reflect their bright colors. I am obsessed with the beauty of their tiny feathers. Amazing little birds they are.
Thank you very much for your recent views and comments.

Amazing indeed. God bless.
How absolutely outstanding is this? Gob smacking photography Tex, your bokeh is a smooth as silk here. Well done!!!!
Almost there, almost there... Splendid capture.
they have always amazed me also. very sharp macro
Stunning!
This is amazing and a fantastic capture - love it.
Ahhh. This little guru has mastered the art of levitation. Beautiful shot. It's weird how those feather look so drab until the light hits them just right.
Absolutely incredible capture; the only softness is that wing blur, and everything else is right there where it should be. You are so good at this!
So cool.. looks like a Macy's Thanksgiving day parade balloon. LOL. Great catch.
Amazing focus in this amazing shot of the wee hummingbird, Maria, apparently with an ability to cloak its rapidly moving wings while in flight, just hovering there.
Excellent capture.
Outstanding!!
A really stunning shot and its fun the wings works so fast :-)
Perfect timing, wonderful shot. Aloha
Beautiful capture....:))
I zoom on every post and this is the reason why. A wingless hummingbird hanging motionless in mid air!!!!!! :>) An exception capture Maria and I remain in awe of you camera skills!
Wow! What a shot!!
What a beauty and tenderness, this photo, and hummingbird shows to us. An incredible fleetingness you have caught, Maria. Even the red stamen right, fit so well in the picture. Never I saw this bird here. Here in the Netherlands you rarely see these hummingbirds, and as we see, they have totally different colors.
wow, just wonderful and perfect, they are so quick, not easy to catch! Bravo!
Outstanding capture! It is so very hard to capture these little things.
oh I like this -- very nice detail.
Amazing!!!
