Hummingbird Visit!

I glanced out our window today and saw something moving quickly in our honeyberry bushes, then saw a flash of red-orange. I thought the bees were in our bushes. When it flew out of the bushes and into our apple tree I realized it was a hummingbird!
We get them sometimes in May and August on their way through to warmer places.
Last summer I put out the hummingbird feeder and never saw one, so I was pretty excited to see this ruby-throated hummingbird!

Here he is cleaning his bill, moving it back and forth over the branch.
He sat there for quite awhile.
I took pictures through the window and between the railings on our deck,
so the focusing was a little tricky.
His throat was sometimes bright red, at other times, like in the picture below it was dark.

I hope it doesn't get too cold tonight because at about 7 degrees they go torpid and can't move until they warm up. As soon as I saw him I got out the feeder and started boiling sugar water.

According to my bird book, hummingbirds weigh about as much as a quarter.
They are capable of speeds up to about 100 km/hr!
They beat their wings 75 times a second. How is that possible?
Their migration across the Gulf of Mexico is a non-stop journey of 1030 kilometers!

I marvel more and more at the incredible variety in God's creation!
I find it more and more amazing that some people can study nature
and still not believe in a Creator.
