Ruby-crowned kinglets visit our Japanese maple every spring to get nectar from the emerging leaves. This year's visitor struck a pose.
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.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and fav my images.
Enjoy the day.
I finally got a few shots of some Ruby Throated Hummingbirds that were visiting the feeder yesterday. They zip in and zip out and do not stay around for long!
Fun and frustrating little winter birds in Central Oklahoma. I got a lot of empty frames of this bird's prior resting spot before getting this shot. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) 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.

This tiny traveler has settled into the Oklahoma Cross Timbers for the winter—a female Ruby‑crowned Kinglet, quiet in color but full of spirit.
She flutters like a butterfly gleaning insects from cedars, and searches every twig and bit of bark for hidden insects. In a landscape of muted browns and soft winter light, her presence feels like a blessing, a reminder of how much life endures in the harshness of winter.
She’ll spend the season here, sheltered by the tangled woods, riding out each front with determination far bigger than her size. A teeny heartbeat in the Cross Timbers, enduring the season with grace.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Celebrating our ruby reunion at Kadkani River Resort with a special guest: the purple-rumped sunbird! ✨ Its iridescent hues and energetic flitting perfectly mirror the joy of reconnecting with the class of '84 after 40 years.

This was shot during my workshop with Kurt Budliger in Olympic National Park. I absolutely cannot wait to do it again! What a great learning process and discovery of a new place. This was shot after the sun had gone down (just) and there was a cool vibe in the air.
This is a blend of 2 exposures (one for the sky and one for the rest).
