These tiny birds are just coming back to the Davis Mountains in west Texas.
Thanks so much for the faves and nice comments!
It was a pleasure to see this one return heading into the winter season. Photographed in the backyard setup in East Memphis.

Ruby & I hit the sand again this morning, this is Ruby's new friend Sam, he is tall dark and handsome, he taught her she could actually swim this morning, she is always too scared to venture where she can't see the bottom, but the creek was just perfect today for her to learn when she couldn't get her ball, so Sam would fetch it and bring it in, she got tired of that game and finally ventured out to get the ball for herself!
Warblers and Kinglets were all over the place at the John Heinz NWR in Philadelphia today. I managed to get within 5 feet of this bird by simply standing very still next to an entanglement and small tree they were feeding in. These birds are about 3 inches long and rarely sit still even for a moment. Compounding matters was the fact that the light was poor at this location and ISO 3200 had to be used. I was fortunate to get this shot given the circumstances (and relatively low shutter speed). Note the small "ruby crown" atop the birds head. This will flare up like a red mohawk when the bird gets very excited, typically during mating season.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
This tiny bird was flashing his crown, positioning himself directly in front of other kinglets. Sunlight made that patch of red feathers glow like a hot coal. It was breathtaking and made me laugh at the same time. Ruby crowned Kinglet South Coast Botanic Garden 3754

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet, one of North America's smallest songbirds, has a loud, complex song and, with up to 12 eggs, lays the largest clutch of any North American passerine for its size. Males and females are nearly identical in plumage -- olive green-gray on the upperparts with two strong white wing-bars and a broken, white eye-ring. The male has a scarlet crown patch, which is usually concealed unless agitated.
During migration and winter, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet occupies a variety of habitats and is often recognized by its constant wing-flicking. As a breeder, it inhabits spruce-fir forests of the northern and mountainous western United States and Canada. Its nest is hidden, often near the trunk and up to 30 meters above the ground, making reproductive data difficult to gather. Much remains to be learned about the breeding biology and behavior of this species.
This is Ruby Beach, along the Washington coastline. This was our anniversary trip, although a little early this year. I've been wanting to go here for a couple years now. Finally got the chance! I would have loved to have stayed 'til sunset, but that would've meant another three hours! What an enjoyable trip though! We actually travelled all the way up to the northern edge of Washington! We went a full circle, encircling the whole Olympic National Park! Very pretty!

A tiny bird that overflows with energy, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula) seems to forage almost frantically through lower branches of shrubs and trees. Its habit of constantly flicking its wings is a key identification clue. Outside of hummingbirds, Kinglets are the smallest of Northern American birds. This plain green-gray bird has a white eyering and a white bar on the wing. The male’s brilliant ruby crown patch usually stays hidden. Your best chance to see it is to find an excited male singing in spring or summer. The Ruby-crowned Kinglet 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. Metabolic studies on Ruby-crowned Kinglets suggest that these tiny birds use only about 10 calories per day.

Teeny little birds, and always on the move. Most of the time their crown is hidden. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are the only hummingbird that migrates and mates in Connecticut. It measures about 3" from the tip of the bill to the tail. They are lightening fast. Females have the white throat and males have the red throat.

Ruby-crowned kinglet, Rondeau Provincial Park, Oct 21, 2018.
Lot of people looking for the great kiskadee in the park today. Many were successful in finding it, but there were lots of other birds around.
This ruby-crowned kinglet was flitting through a grape vine looking for something to eat.
Of course he wasn't showing much of the ruby crown.
