Ruby-throated Hummingbird


Our terrace garden is mostly made up of varieties of salvias and fuchsias.
 Terra cotta pots are placed out and fully planted mostly for New England's only hummingbird . . . the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Archilochus colubris, who visits often during the spring and summer months. It is a joy each year to observe breeding hummingbirds in our gardens. As the first day of winter approaches, I imagine the immature male and female below are now settled somewhere in Central America.











WISHING ALL THE HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS!
PEACE ON EARTH
GOOD WILL TOWARDS ALL LIFE
