Here’s the 4th bird in my portrait series, the ruby-throated hummingbird. They’re small, yes, but among hummingbirds they’re considered medium-sized. They eat twice their own weight every day, mostly nectar, but they can also eat some bugs and spiders. The ruby-throated hummingbird is the only hummer you’ll see in the Triangle area, where it is a summer bird. They can be found year-round in some parts of NC. 

My original watercolor is about 5×7” on Magnani paper. Prints are available.
