Shot through a cyclone fence looking down into a creek on a dark and very cold day. I rarely get to see the red crown of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet so this was a real treat.

Ruby Falls located in Chattanooga, TN. They only offer guided tours through this place and most are on pretty strict timing. It can be tough to get the right shot here due to all the people and limited timeframe. The waterfall is buried deep in an extensive cave system. The waterfall itself is so beautiful, mysterious, and serene. Definitely a must see.
So happy to finally get to see these INCREDIBLE beauties out in the wild! There were two of them. They hovered directly over my head multiple times over the hour I spent with them...The 8 ticks I picked up were worth it!
Taken in Victoria Park, in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This beautiful male Ruby-throated Hummingbird didn’t seem happy at all when his feeder got taken down for the season today. He kept buzzing around like crazy where the feeder used to be. I gotta say, I felt bad for the little guy. He probably still has a long way to go. I hope he got lots of nectar before the feeder disappeared.

It was fun but challenging to photograph these birds since they don't seem to stay longer than couple of seconds in each perch.
The ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Canada and other parts of Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.

I've been trying to get a shot of this little fellow for a couple of weeks now. Finally got one today!
The color of the pomegranate grains is predominantly red. It can vary from pink to shades of dark ruby, but never goes beyond the edge of the red gamut.
Цвет зёрен граната преимущественно красный. Может варьироваться от розового до оттенков темно-рубинового, но за грань красной гаммы не выходит никогда.
This young guy from a couple weeks back wanted to make sure I wasn't after his nectar. I think we may be mostly done with hummers for the season-- we had a front come through yesterday, and I think our remaining birds may have left, as I didn't see any yesterday. Time will tell, but this is a typical time for them to leave. We'll await their return in the spring... Glendale, Missouri
In these lockdown days, campervans and visitors are rightly discouraged on Skye. This is our van Ruby, on its last outing at Camas Malaig beach with Blaven, the Cuillin and the Red Hills in the background and photographed on the loveliest of days, marking the end of autumn 2019 on the island. #StaySafe. #StayHome
If you like photographic challenges, hummingbirds are the ticket. I’m not talking at a feeder where they will eat out of your hand, but on a complicated firebush plant. With the male, the goal is to get its gorget, that colorful reddish/orange neck it sports, to light up. That requires it to face the sun. The problem is that when it’s feeding, the gorget only lights up when it’s behind the flower. If it’s perpendicular to the camera, you can see a bit of the color but not the full show. Sometimes it will hold still in the air, the most difficult shot to get, as it’s there and gone by the time you swing the lens to that position. Also, because of the bird’s small size the camera often has a hard time focusing on the bird which necessitates using a small focus area. Having a small focus area on a small bird that stays in place for milliseconds, is a trick. Anyway, “Mike, stop your whining get on with it!” You’re welcome. This guy gave me a good look and I’m partial, as my friend Lu will attest, to dark images, so this one appeals to me. I did have to use some photoshop magic on the lower left to remove an out of focus firebush bloom made a semi-transparent red blob over the bottom of the plant part shown here.
