Thirsty Hummingbird: Sonoma Co. Photo Of The Week

SONOMA, CA — Even the wildlife know the first full week of fall has been warm in Sonoma County. Shown here is one of four tiny hummingbirds photographer Al Francis spotted hovering around a bird feeder at the end of another hot day, just trying to keep their cool like the rest of Sonoma County!

Gorgeous shot, Al! Thanks for sharing and reminding us of the beauty that surrounds us.

How about you, Sonoma readers — have you got the next incredible photo? If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch, we’d love to feature it on Patch.
