Ruby-throated Hummingbirds that frequent my back yard are not overly fond of Marigolds. But occasionally they will sample that flower. I waited patiently for an opportunity and was rewarded with this set. Enjoy.

Thank you for your comments, Chief. I am guessing that Marigold nectar is neither too sweet nor too plentiful in the flower. The hummers in my yard vastly prefer Cape Honeysuckle or the feeder. Sometimes I think it is just a game between competing birds, i.e, "See, I am sipping your flower".
