The spiderweb used by hummingbirds is sticky, of course, so the lichens stick to the web and are also caught beneath overlapping strands of silk. The female collects the silk strands of spiderweb and winds them around plant parts and lichens and then fills the cup with plant down. In spring, female hummingbirds are often seen hovering in the eaves and roof overhangs of houses, where they are probably collecting spiderwebs and, perhaps, also dining on small spiders.

Chrysolampis mosquitus - Male - Small hummingbird with a rather large range across northeastern South America and eastern Panama. Male is unmistakable with a golden throat, a ruby-red crown, and an orange tail with dark tips. Female is trickier to identify, but note the pale gray underparts, white-tipped tail feathers, and dull grayish green upperpars. The short and slightly decurved bill should also help identify the female. Fairly common in open habitats, including savannah, forest edge, and gardens. ebird.org/species/ruthum1

he Brazilian Ruby is sometimes treated as the sole member of a monotypic genus, Clytolaema, one of a great many hummingbird genera described by John Gould. As its vernacular name suggests, this species is endemic to Brazil, where it generally occurs from Minas Gerais south to Rio Grande do Sul, and it occurs in wooded areas of all types in the Atlantic Forest region, to at least 2,000 m. It regularly visits feeders in small numbers. This beauty was visiting the gardens of Sítio Macuquinho - Salesópolis, São Paulo.

Manchmal sind Rubine etwas heller. Es kommt auf das Licht an, in dem man sie sieht.
A ruby can have many reds.
Here is a photo of Ruby Beach in the Olympic National Park, taken in June, 2018. This was taken from the lower part of the stairway leading down to the beach, looking northward up the beach. To access the beach itself, one has to climb over those washed-up logs that sit at the base of the stairway.
One of the more common birds at my suet feeders in the winter is the ruby crowned kinglet. I always wonder if these cute little puffball birds were an inspiration for Angry Birds game. They have so much spunk when they show their red crown to scare other birds off the feeder as they dive at it. .

Ruby-throated Hummingbird
The season appears to be over over for me, haven't seen any Hummingbirds in 2 weeks now
Motley, after he'd molted a bit.

Birds get up to weird stuff when it's snowy/icy out. Usually when I see ruby-crowned kinglets they're in trees, hopping quickly from branch to branch.
This one was hopping quickly, but out on an open snow field.

Here's another look at a male ruby-crowned kinglet. Notice the much-plainer markings on its head and wings compared to a golden-crowned kinglet. If you look very very close on the tip-top of its head, you will see hints of some red feathers. Ruby-crowned kinglets can completely hide their ruby-colored crown when they want to. This one did flare that flaming crown open for me, but those photos were not so focused.

By the way, did you fellows know that a hummingbird weighs as much as a quarter? Do you think a hummingbird also weighs the same as two dimes and a nickel? But then she asked a question of her own: How do they weigh a hummingbird?
