Tilden Botanic Garden, Berkeley, CA

I was at the Botanic Garden with my wife, who was doing an extended bird survey of the Garden with three of her fellow docents. It was a pleasant spring morning weather. This handsome male was preening himself extensively on a branch by the pond, displaying the largest ruby crown that any of us had ever seen (not quite captured in this picture). He was also vocalizing and calling actively now and then.

Early spring arrival to Southern Ontario. These are restless, acrobatic birds that move quickly through foliage, typically at lower and middle levels. They flick their wings almost constantly as they go. This makes them very difficult to photograph. (Cornell Lab)

I love these little sweeties with their lovely delicate singing. Never remaining still definitely makes them not easy to photograph.

Thank you for all views, faves, and comments.

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is a tiny bird that lays a very large clutch of eggs—there can be up to 12 in a single nest. Although the eggs themselves weigh only about a fiftieth of an ounce, an entire clutch can weigh as much as the female herself.

Ruby-crowned Kinglets seem nervous as they flit through the foliage, flicking their wings nearly constantly. Keeping an eye out for this habit can be a useful aid to identifying kinglets.

Metabolic studies on Ruby-crowned Kinglets suggest that these tiny birds use only about 10 calories (technically, kilocalories) per day.

The oldest known Ruby-crowned Kinglet was a female, and at least 8 years, 8 months old, when she was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Texas in 2017. She was banded in the same state in 2008.

Black and Bloom Salvia perennials proved to be strong hummingbird plants. I hope that they will attract clearwing moths and butterfiles too next year.

The sun turned ruby, colored the sea with a broad red brush stroke, and set the whole sky in flame.

Finally after close to a month of trips to go see her, The chicks make an appearance. They can't be more then a couple days old. Might be the first time I shot anything above 5.6. It was very tough to get focus, A fill flash was used

Every year we get to see a few of these Eastern hummingbirds in West Texas.

This one was feeding between the raised beds and gave me a clean background. Very nice of it. 😉
