For 121 pictures in 2021 #80 "Ruby red", this is a closeup of an amaryllis that started blooming a couple of days ago.
Hundreds of kinds of hummingbirds nest in the American tropics, and more than a dozen in the western U.S., but east of the Great Plains there is only the Ruby-throat. There it is fairly common in summer in open woods and gardens. Hovering in front of a flower to sip nectar, it beats its wings more than 50 times per second. Impressive migrants despite their small size, some Ruby-throats may travel from Canada to Costa Rica.

Hummingbirds split from their sister group, the swifts and tree swifts, around 42 million years ago. The common ancestor of extant hummingbirds is estimated to have lived 22 million years in South America. They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to humans.

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds normally place their nest on a branch of a deciduous or coniferous tree; however, these birds are accustomed to human habitation and have been known to nest on loops of chain, wire, and extension cords.

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula) is a very small Passerine bird found throughout North America. It is a member of the Kinglet family, Regulidae, derived from the Latin word regulus for "petty king" or prince, and refers to the coloured crowns of adult birds. The kinglets are a small group of birds formerly included in the Old World warbler, but now given family status (Monroe, B, 1992). Some studies showed that, despite superficial similarities, the crests are taxonomically remote from the warblers (Barker et al, 2002; Spiecer, G & Dunipace, L, 2004).
I was surprised to see this Kinglet pop up in my viewfinder. I thought it was a little early to be seeing them here in Georgia....9-29-2021...No Ruby showing, but a kinglet nonetheless...;-)
