Each year I usually only have 3 hummingbirds. This fellow was the first to arrive, some two weeks before the female. He was also the first to leave. The female, and the juvenile left mid week the second week of October. Sad to see them go and hope they have a safe trip south.
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly,
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
I'll make a wish,
take a chance,
make a change,
and breakaway.

my model for this picture is Ruby (aka cookieluver33) You should check out her stream. She takes amazing pictures! It took a while to get the perfect jump, but in the end, I got the perfect one!

It took a while to figure out what this small migrating bird was .. but I am guessing a Female Ruby Crowned Kinglet? I probably took about 20+ shots to get this little timid bird as it moved through branches like an acrobat.

If you enlarge you will see a small red dot on its head - which was clue to throw me over the top on my decision. www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ruby-crowned_Kinglet/overview
Winter birds in Oklahoma. Don't sing a lot when they are here. But are extremely active and low to the ground, so fairly easy to spot. Not so easy to photograph. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Yesterday I managed a shot I'e been after for years. Which was a proper stacked shot of a ruby tailed wasp in natural light. I've become a big fan of not using flash in macro photography because of the impact on colours. They look so much more natural in natural light. Anyway I wanted to share a bigger version of the file as compared to what I would do on normal social media!
It was an nice outing with friend Allen (asparks306) to photograph these near Cordova, Tennessee.

This Ruby-crowned Kinglet was seen at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
I was pretty sure of the ID as a Ruby-crowned Kinglet rather than a Hutton’s Vireo, since it did not appear to have a hooked upper mandible and since the area of the lores did not seem to be as distinctly pale as in Hutton’s Vireo. However, being based in Alberta I am not very familiar with Hutton’s Vireo (I’m also aware that there is often confusion between the two species), so I posted this image to the Bird Identification Help Group here on Flickr to get feedback. Brennan Mulrooney from that group gave excellent info: see his response in the comments below.
The adult males leave first in late July with the adult females following next. The immature hummingbirds are the last to leave in September. It is rare for hummingbirds to linger in Ontario after the beginning of October.

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.
We met Ruby on our hike around Parvin Lake in Parvin State Park in New Jersey. She and her human walk there every day. Ruby was so well behaved, looked forward to us petting her, and when the camera was brought to my eye, she slowly walked toward me, as if to say,
"I'm ready for a photo shoot!"
Here is a look at the beautiful Ruby Beach during a decent little sunrise along the Olympic coast. Hope you are all having a great start to your weekend out there.
We have just 1 workshop left this year and will be adding 1 day Seattle & Portland dates in the near future. Please get in touch with me to discuss any private workshop events you may be interested in this summer, or workshops you may want to see us hold next year!

Ruby-crowned kinglets visit our Japanese maple every spring to get nectar from the emerging leaves. This year's visitor struck a pose.
The sun turned ruby, colored the sea with a broad yellowish brush stroke, and set the whole sky in flame.
Had a great weekend on the coast in Olympic National Park. We visited a few beaches and took a lot of pics. Second Beach in the mist was a stunner and I could have spent a week there shooting away no problem.

A very small, hyper songbird. The sexes and juveniles are identical, except the males have the ruby crest, which is invisible most of the time. They show it only when excited. Winter residents in Oklahoma. These tiny birds raise large broods across Canada and Alaska. Conservation status is Least Concern. Our beautiful world, pass it on..
