Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

A Ruby-throated Hummingbird probes the Bee Balm on a late summer afternoon. Clarence-Rockland, Ontario.

This Hummingbird looks like it needs to put on a few grams for it does look a little skinny in my opinion.

My in-laws have a steady stream of hummingbirds coming to their feeder.

In my yard near Lititz Pennsylvania on September 9 2012.....I shot these late in the day just before sunset. The flower is 15 feet from the ground (on my deck) and the background is a tree line in the shade 250 feet behind the Hummer. As the light fell on the Hummer and flower it caused the background to under expose and blur.

Hummingbirds are hyper little critters. One can spend hours at feeding places, take hundreds of shots and still end up only with a digital dustbin full of blurs or perfectly sharp images of empty feeders. Then suddenly,when you are supposed to learn about butterflies, one decides to be the right little poser, sit there and show off for long enough. Perhaps it was just confused because being a butterfly-sized bird at a butterfly garden where the butterflies are the size of birds that can do that to you.

Habitat y Distribución

 

Habitat

 

Prefiere la vegetación baja y enmarañada como matorrales o sabanas con arbustos, sobre todo cerca de la costa.

 

Distribución

 

El registro en Costa Rica de su presencia se basa en un espécimen viejo con localidad específica y posiblemente mal rotulado; de otra forma, se conoce la especie hasta el oeste de Chiriquí (Puerto Armuelles), muy cerca de la frontera con Costa Rica. Aún no se toma en cuenta el registro viejo; se debe esperar la aparición de la especie al sur de la vertiente del Pacífico, en vista de la cantidad de especies de hábitats abiertos que han invadido esta área recientemente, como resultado de la tala de los bosques que constituían una barrera.

 

Distribución fuera de Costa Rica

 

Se encuentra en Costa Rica (Zona Sur) y el oeste de Panamá hasta el norte de Colombia.

Calothorax lucifer, Christmas Mountains, west Texas, July 2017

Here at home, seeing a hummingbird is cause for excitement; we have only one kind, the Ruby-throated. The entire country of Costa Rica is only the size of Vermont and New Hampshire combined, holds over 5% of earth's biodiversity, and has an astounding 52 species of hummingbirds, ranging in size from just over 2 inches up to 6 inches. They are as common as house sparrows are at home. The Rufous-tailed was the one we saw most, it's a medium-sized hummingbird, about 4-4.5 inches long, and under 2/10 of an ounce.

I saw the hummingbirds looking at the oranges, so I dug out their feeder. It didn't take long for them to come back.

My iso was set way too high, so all my photos are grainy... oops!

Hummingbirds

 

These are part of "The Swarm" at my brother's home. There appears to be two families of hummingbirds,a dn they often get into aerial dogfights over the feeders.

 

This is my first attempt to take pictures of hummingbirds. I would ahve liked to move the feeders out of the shadows and away from the screened in porch, but that was not really an option.

This female Ruby-throated Hummingbird was photographed in my back yard in Altamonte Spings Florida. RTHU_1D3_9919
