Food fuels flying furnace

On 09/03/2025 04:47 pm by Randy Strauss | Omaha, Nebraska suburb

The forecast calls for mid 40sF here tonight, far below normal for this time of year. All birds in my backyard, including this female ruby throated hummingbird seemed to know that it was going to get cold, and had ravenous appetites to ensure their internal furnaces have plenty of fuel to burn.

Canon T2i DSLR, Tamron 200-400mm lens at 390mm, f/8, 1/800 second, ISO 1000.

Cropped, sharpened.
