Hello Nature Canada,

This is a Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird, photographed near Kenora, Ontario. This beautiful bird can consume 5 times its own body weight in nectar each day. That’s a lot for such a small bird!

Sincerely,
April Stampe

Thank you, April, for such a great shot of a bird that doesn’t often pause for photos!
