“Sized-up”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
If you were
wondering how tiny a ruby-throated hummingbird is—here you go! This male
hummingbird’s gorget shimmered in the sun while he perched on a Major Wheeler
Trumpet Honeysuckle. His full body is barely bigger than the leaf next to him.
This year, his pretty little face will
grace the front cover of the Hummingbird Trail map at the State Botanical Garden
of Georgia. This will be the seventh year of the Hummingbird Trail that I
researched and designed.
Visit the Garden’s website to see a previous
year’s map at https://botgarden.uga.edu. Click under Gardens & Collections
then scroll down until you see information about the Trail. The Trail will be
up sometime around the beginning of May. The best viewing of the hummingbirds
will be in the late summer into September because more broods of hummingbirds
will be born. Come visit the Garden!!
You can see why they are great
pollinators by the huge amount of pollen on his head.
