Ruby Throated Hummingbird on Mandevilla
I plant Mandevillas at the corners of my pergola to attract Hummingbirds to my patio. A feeder is located just behind this plant. It is a lovely place for the Hummers to perch and defend their precious nectar! This youngster is sticking his tongue out at the other birds as if to taunt them into battle. They are so entertaining to watch!
