Ruby Crowned Kinglet - peaking through the cedars at McLaughlin Bay Wildlife - Second Marsh - Oshawa Ontario
We got to Ruby beach a little late so we didn't do a lot of exploring. I haven't spent that much time at the beach so I guess this would would be called a really large tide pool. Either way it offered some nice reflections with just a little color.
My first Explore photo - July 23, 2011
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.
12,644 ft. Ruby Peak and 13,058 ft. Mount Owen rise above a forest of aspen and pine near Kebler Pass, Colorado. The famous and often photographed volcanic dyke known as "The Dyke" extends east from Ruby Mountain above a classic stand of red aspen trees, one of the rarely finds in Colorado. This was a really magical sunset and I was happy to have found a great place to witness it west of Crested Butte, Colorado.

Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington
The tide was so low that evening you could stand on the sand below the cliffs of Abbey Island, the large, tree-covered sea stack on the right. The cloud cover had precluded any hope of a colorful sunset, so I was experimenting with sea stack silhouettes and reflections during the blue hour when I saw this couple walking over to the edge of Abbey Island.
Every January, tiny migrating songbirds forage for insects and seeds around the giant flower spikes of the huge aloe in our front succulent garden They are super-fast, darting and diving, but much fun to see and photograph. Each time is exciting, especially when it is a new one for me. This year's Kinglet is a surprise -- another I have never seen before.

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.
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!

These Ruby-crowned Kinglets are tough little birds to photograph. They are extremely hyperactive and just when you think you've got one in your sights - they move on. This one isolated on a perch for more than its usual 1/2 nanosecond.

The sun turned ruby, colored the sea with a broad yellowish brush stroke, and set the whole sky in flame.
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.
The ruby-crown was not showing. It is only present on the males, but they don't show it off unless trying to impress or warn something. Anyway, they are cute little birds that visit us during winter and I'm always happy to see and hear them.

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..
