SLS_4853X Ruby-throated Hummingbird by
Sherwood Lincoln, on Flickr
Cardinal flowers have adapted to being pollinated by one source, Hummingbirds this one is a juvenile Ruby-throated. A stigma extends beyond the tip. When the tuft of hairs is pushed back by the bird, the end of the tube opens and releases pollen. Thank you for taking your valuable time to view my photos. All are taken in southeastern Ct. most with a Canon 5DMIV and Canon 100 to 400 II lens.
Excellent capture, Sherwood.
Fine photo, interesting info. Thanks!
About as good as it gets. Terrific!

Fantastic shot - pity the image shows larger in UHH than the Flicker version
Congratulations on a very sharp and well composed photograph.
