This is the third day for the Leucistic Hummingbird I actually do not know
if it is a Ruby, or a Black-chinned, or what, but the most common hummer in
this area would be Ruby. I managed to get a few more photos of him/her . .
. actually, a lot more. But it was overcast until just a few hours ago,
and now I have no time to try to photograph him/her with the better light.
That's the way it always goes, doesn't it?
On day one, the little bird tried to fight for a territory, only to be
chased away relentlessly. Today, it was a stronger, braver bird, and has
managed to secure a territory, and even invade the other Rubys'
territories. I also posted one photo to show how well it blends in with a
dead oak branch, sort of gray and white.
