Our backyard baby ruby-throated hummingbird. I learned that male ruby-throated hummingbirds don't develop their signature red neck until around a year old, before that they're incognito with white the same as the females.

Thanks all! The nest is on a branch directly over my head as I balanced on the balance strap. I first noticed it because mama was hovering directly above me making her distinctive whirring noise. Can’t figure out what enticed her to build a nest in such a busy spot. Grandkids play on the balance strap (strung between 2 trees) constantly!

That is quite a shot. He is well camouflaged.
My thoughts exactly. He looks a little big for that nest! Great pic.

He does blend in so nicely. I think our Creator had a working plan. Nice photo of your backyard baby.

Wow! Great capture, and a sharp, clear shot well composed as well! Thanx for sharing.
