Description
This painting is based on the original photograph 'Morning Break - Ruby-throated Hummingbird', by Cindy Treger, whose express consent has been requested to use it as a reference.
The ruby throat hummingbird is a small hummingbird with a long, straight, very slender and slightly inclined bill, fingers and feet quite small and fairly short wings. Its feathers are bright emerald or golden in the back and the crown, with white gray underparts. Males have a bright, iridescent red throat that looks dark when it is not well lit.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds generally spend the winter in Central America, Mexico and Florida, and migrate to eastern America during the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America, usually in open forests, forest edges, meadows, grasslands and in parks, gardens and backyards.
