Ruby Throated Hummingbird in my garden 9/11/2022.

Archilochus colubris

(Archilochus colubris) We don't get hummingbirds in the UK so any sighting is, for me, a great experience!

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

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

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)

Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

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.

Male - At Potengi - Ceará - The Ruby-topaz Hummingbird is a much coveted gem of circum-Amazonian savanna habitats from Colombia east through Venezuela, the Guianas, south through Brazil and west to eastern Bolivia. It is a very small hummingbird, but with a brilliant ruby crown and nape, iridescent gold throat and breast and bright orange tail and is luckily, quite common throughout its range. It forages for the nectar of flowering shrubs from the understory to tree tops in open country but also in cultivated areas and gardens. birdsoftheworld.org

Happy Wednesday! HBW!

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.

I drove over to the lake, and arrived during a heavy shower. A few minutes after I arrived, the rain stopped and this little beautiful ruby-crowned kinglet alit on a bush next to me.

While exploring Washington State back roads, I came across this abandoned silver mine known as the Old Ruby (Pyrargyrite) Mine. Along with the mill there are several other buildings on the property, maintenance shop, blacksmith shop and forge, office, bunkhouse and powder magazine. The mill is empty now, and so is the powder magazine.

I am finally posting a hummingbird photo from my garden. Having software issues with my new computer, so hopefully this turns out as I have never used it before.

I spotted this ruby crowned kinglet flitting around in a bush. It kept moving until it took a good look at me, then moved away into the woods.

Ruby-Throated Hummingbird (female or juvenile?)

I was waiting by a tree near the water which the catbird frequents. This beautiful hummingbird showed up, rested on the branch for a few seconds, then took off... Late afternoon.

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

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

This is Ruby. One of the pair I have been following for some time now. Ruby is a bit cautious around this time, probably pregnant.
