She was a very "active" little kitten, I am surprised I could even capture this (!) What is most interesting about this photo is she has no freckles on her nose...later in life she would acquire freckles on her nose (something I never knew could happen!).

Here she is at 13 years old with all her freckles!

One of my fave Winter birds. Teeny and frenetic, difficult to photo. But rewarding when you catch that brilliant crest visible. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

There was well over a dozen Ruby-crowned Kinglets singing their heads off and likely twice that amount in Fishtrap Creek Park.

Ruby is 16 years old, she belongs to a friend. I think she is a Cairn Terrier.

This little bird had snagged a small fly for breakfast. I had hoped to find more Warblers this morning but I saw a lone Yellow-rumped. Soon.

I got a few shots of this ruby-crowned kinglet yesterday, including some facing me, but they didn't show the ruby part; since I haven't seen many shots with the red, I decided to use this one that shows the crown, even if it isn't the best pose!

Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. It is located on Highway 101, in Jefferson County, 27 miles (43 km) south of the town of Forks.

I managed to capture a decent look at this little guy’s name-sake ruby crown.

A tiny bird seemingly overflowing 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 eyering and a white bar on the wing. Alas, 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.

First of this species I've encountered this Fall. I'd forgotten how frustrating it is to photo these frenetic little birds. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

This image was taken in Canada this year and turned into one of the several favorites from that trip, many thanks to Corey Hayes who organized the tour for me and two other photographers, we all had a blast!

Many thanks for your comments, faves, and follows :)

Autumn

Moody sunset and I am taking the liberty of making it even moodier with a little color edit. In my minds eye this is exactly how it feels to look. Or looks the feel. Or simply as I see it. I love this beach and when I am home long enough try and go. It has been years now and the memory has faded to colorful recollection and the salty taste of lingering sea memories.

I'm so lucky to have a Hummingbird nest in my parking lot. Now I can just see a chick!

Spotted this one foraging in the flowers. Usually they flit so fast they are hard to photograph, not that this one was easy.

Regulus calendula

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.

Who is ready for a treasure hunt? I always feel like I'm treasure hunting when looking into tidepools like this one at Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park.

I may have mis-identified this bird, but the slashes on the wing and a slight touch of ruby on its crown point to the Kinglet. It should be more olivey-coloured in the body, but that could be the deep shade in which I took the photo.

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
