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!

Famous for the reddish sand that occasionally gathers and large, rock islands known as sea stacks, Ruby Beach is one of the most well-known and highly anticipated beaches to visit along the Olympic coastline. 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 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.
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.

In order to get enough DOF to cover the whole bird, I dropped the focal length to 100 mm, set the ISO to 800 to keep the noise under control, and set the shutter speed to 1/400.
I would have liked to go to F8 with the aperture, but the sacrifices that would have had to been made with ISO and shutter speed kept me at F6.3 (even with my cheating the exposure a full stop)!
For this capture I placed the camera on a tripod, manually focused the camera on the feeding port of the feeder, and sat in a lawn chair with a remote trigger waiting for “customers”.
There is simplicity in nature's beauty,
but capturing it can be a complicated process!
I spent a considerable amount f time yesterday trying to capture this Ruby-crowned Kinglet as it flit amoung the trees and bushes with either a branch across it's face or deep in the shadows...finally, it came out in the open, oh so briefly, to capture a shot including it's brightly colored 'ruby-crown'!

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.

Ruby Tuesday: The glowing red sun rises up into the cloud laden sky, full of rain for later, but for now the beach has promised to give anyone up a show.

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.
There are several species of Ruby-tailed wasps in the UK, and ignita (above) is the one most frequently seen. The head and thorax are a dazzling greenish-blue, and the abdomen is a firey red. In bright sunlight the vivid metallic colours of their bodies appear very jewel-like.
Ruby-tailed wasps lay their eggs in the nests of other solitary bees and wasps. When they find a possible nest to lay their eggs they checkout the entrance to make sure no one is home. If they are unlucky and the owner is home they are well equipped to defend themselves with tough body cuticle to protect them from stings. Also the underside of their abdomen is concave which enables them to curl up into a ball.
If no one is home, they check to see the nest is well stocked with food, and then they reverse in and lay their eggs. When the eggs hatch, the emerging larvae eat the host bee or wasp larvae. For this reason they are sometimes called 'Cuckoo Wasps'. They remain in the nest until they are fully developed and then emerge the following spring as adult wasps.
I spotted a couple of these in my walk around Mill Lake this morning. They have a very distinctive call.

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
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.
