Ruby-throated hummingbird
We spotted this ruby-throated hummingbird sipping nectar from a prairie dock flower. Prairie dock is a native perennial with several showy yellow flowers. The plant can grow more than 6 feet tall. Even with its height, it's still able to stand upright after a couple major storms. It's fairly easy to establish for any backyard habitat enthusiast. Photo by Mike Budd/USFWS.
