Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula) has been reclassified to Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula)
The hummingbird activity has finally started to accelerate as they prepare to head south for migration. This is just one of several adult males in my backyard.
La actividad de los colibrís se ha accelerado finalmente mientras que se preparan para dirigirse al sur para su migración. Éste es sólo uno de los machos que se encuentran en mi patio trasero ahora.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds, Rondeau provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, July 12, 2019.
Put out a oriole feeder and had 7 hummingbirds on it in minutes.
Then hung up the hummingbird feeder and had 5 more.
We have had as many as 30 in the yard at one time, but that's mid August.
Archilochus colubris
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds prefer to feed on red or orange flowers (though it's not necessary to color the sugar water you put in a hummingbird feeder). Like many birds, hummingbirds have good color vision and can see into the ultraviolet spectrum, which humans can’t see.
Oh my goodness! This is a lifer for my yard birds. I've only seen one other bird of this species, and only got one shot of it (Lake Apopka North Shore Wildlife Drive 2016). This was in the front yard, in God's garden, playing in the sprinklers on the Simpson's Stopper bush. Am I blessed or what! Thank You, Jesus.
This is such a great bird for me (practically homebound). This is at the same time as the Orange-crowned Warbler! Isn't that just something!

Ruby Beach ist auf der Olympic Halbinsel an der Südseite des Olympic National Parks gelegen.
Ruby Beach hat seinen Namen von den rosafarbenen Edelstein-Fragmenten, die man im grauen Sand findet.
Als Teil des Olympic National Park bietet die Küste von Ruby Beach eine wunderschöne Aussicht über Berge, Gletscher, Regenwälder und jede Menge Wildnis.
1981 erklärte ihn die UNESCO zum Weltnaturerbe.

A male Ruby-tailed Wasp. This is a composite of several images; combined using Zerene Stacker. Haven't seen many of these in the garden this year.
Ruby-tailed wasps are cuckoo wasps. The females lay their eggs in the nests of other solitary bee and wasp species.
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. Wikipedia
This little bird is not very big ... as you can tell from this shot. But for its size, it has a rather loud voice. Would love for him to have raised its red crown feathers, but it was not to be.
Consideing its size, it's pretty amazing the long distances they migrate for the winter. From Newfoundland to the southern United States and Mexico is a very long way.
Winter residents in Central Oklahoma. Seeing them in several locations, think we have good numbers this year. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
I was having some fun with these little guys jumping around almost non-stop.
DeBoville Slough, Coquitlam, BC.
This female Ruby-throated Hummingbird posed nicely for several moments for a nice portrait session. On this day there were very few that perched more than a few seconds it seemed.
Looking across the aspen-filled headwaters of the Anthracite Creek drainage toward the western slopes of the Ruby Range near Kebler Pass, Colorado. On this particular morning, I wished time could be slowed down, so that the early morning golden light could linger just a bit longer. I am a greedy fool when it comes to beauty like this!

Photo made on Ruby Beach at Olympic Peninsula. A spectacular scenery. I've got there before the sunset which was amazing. This particular photo was made just when I got to the shore. The low tide and the ever changing light was providing wonderful and interesting shapes and transforming frames of visions. The trail is very light and the logs barrier are not challenging to go through. Loved every second at this bit of our Earth. Foto feita em Ruby Beach na Olympic Peninsula, Washington State, USA. Tive muita sorte de presenciar e registrar um pôr de sol magnífico e com a maré baixa pude fotografar bem destacados os stacks, (ilhas na beira mar).
A tiny bird seeming overflow with energy, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet forages almost frantically through lower branches of shrubs and trees. Its habit of constantly flicking its wings is a key identification clue. Smaller than a warbler or chickadee, this plain green-gray bird has a white eyeing and a white bar on the wing. The male's brilliant ruby crown patch usually stays hidden.
They are tiny songbirds with relatively large heads, almost no neck, and thin tails, They have very small, thin, straight bills.
Both sexes :
Length : 3.5 - 4.3 in (9 - 11 cm)
Weight : 0.2 - 0.3 oz (5 - 10 g)
Wingspan : 6.3 - 7.1 in (16 - 18 cm)
