Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

ruby-throated bird,
gulps sap from indian pink,
sweet taste receptor

green plume backyard guests,
who hover, soar, fly backwards,
wing beaters migrate

Those are amazing birds, but the visits come to an end here. I guess they go to a warmer climate. Thank you for the sharing this one with us. Way to go. 👏✍️. Sara K.
