First hummingbird

Chosen Pick of the Month!

A frequent contributor to Sandpoint in Pictures, Linda Rice took this close-up of a ruby-throated hummingbird visiting her feeder at her home in the Selle Valley on April 28, 2006. She says that this was the first one she spotted this season. The photographer wrote: "All the feeders are out, so we hope to have a lot of little hummingbirds this season. This is a very tiny, little one."
