So this just happened! Looked outside and saw what I thought was just going to be a female meadowhawk on my hummingbird feeder hook. Um, nope! Just a Coppery Emerald chilling and being insanely cooperative...you know, like they do. If only there had been a little more sun to allow better photos from my camera (but then again, it probably wouldn't have been so cooperative that way)!

My first time seeing this species. I think my ID is correct. Female. Had about an hour of free time during another trip and decided to swing by here and show my wife the beautiful area that Greg Lasley showed me. Thanks, Greg!

Perched about 60 cm off the ground on the side of a road through the woods. It flew off once while I was sneaking up on it, but returned to nearly the same perch when I stood still and waited.
