Seeing a lot of kinglets in the woods. Always fun and always frustrating! Our beautiful world, pass it on.
I put out a hanging flower pot in the back deck and today I quickly snapped these guys (one in the bottom could be a young male or female). Tomorrow I will try to take my time and ensure my exposure etc are set right, so I can avoid the grain (below) and darkness (above) ..
Thanks to my friend Janet (aka Dark Spinner) for her continous encouragements in my photography in general (also for those helpful hummingbird tips). I told you I'll have some hummingbird for you later.
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.
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.

Same bird and same perch as the last Ruby-topaz image I posted, but slightly different angle. It’s hard not to be fascinated by these birds and how the iridescence in their feathers shows when the light source is from the correct angle.
Thanks to all who take the time to comment or mark as a favourite.

The Dyke, a colorful ridge, is the southern terminus of the Ruby Range in western Colorado. A fortuitous mixture of clones of quaking aspen complements the attractive cliffs.
This little bird cocked his head perfectly to expose his crest. It takes some time and a lot of wasted frames to catch one of these birds with its crest exposed. We now have three locations that hold kinglets. That helps. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

A ruby throated hummingbird has returned to our backyard this spring. Hopefully more will come soon.

Big trip for me to Texas and it was this tiny little Itsy Bitsy Kinglet that really grabbed my Heart ;)
Many thanks to all those who View, Comment and or Favorite My Photos. It is greatly appreciated. Scott :)
Not the best shot or edit but the best I could do. Tried desperately to erase that naked branch, to no avail. This beauty has been coming to the over 25 Florida native Coral Bean blossoms in the front yard, which are behind a Dwarf Powder Puff potted plant of almost the same color, and under the spring blossoms of the Weeping Bottlebrush tree of almost the same color. A veritable Hummingbird haven! Hope I have a couple more shots that are better or better to edit.

Four or five kinglets were busy gleaning small insects from a couple of cedar trees. But, they were back in the branches, could never catch one in sunlight. Still fun to see. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
This was a surprise in amongst a flock of Golden-crowned Kinglets was this Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Too bad it did not sport a little bit of it's ruby color.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Male)
On his way up to Canada and the Arctic for the summer. He is making a stop in Wisconsin to fill up on bugs. One of the tiny birds.

A fairly cooperative kinglet. He never held still longer than about three seconds, but at least he stayed in the area. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

From the spring - I followed this bird for almost an hour, hoping to get a glimpse while on the trails. Finally he poked his head out, and gave me a ruby flare in the bargain.
Ruby, Tha Rubester, Rubicus! She was a very special boxer dog that
belonged to my good friend, Corey, who lives in Austin. I drew this while
visiting this past January and sitting on the back deck...observing Ruby
watch for stray butterflies, as it was nearly springlike weather already,
she absolutely loved to jump and bite after them as they flew by...it was
a great game for her! A week after I had returned home, Corey called
and told me that Ruby had passed away in her sleep...she lived an
awesomely happy life and was loved immensely!
Ruby lives for her dancing, it's her favourite thing in life. She practices constantly and dreams of being a ballet dancer in Swan Lake some day.
It took her years to save up for this beautiful dress, but when she puts it on she feels like a real swan <3

Not the more common paler cranberry. The red colour is produced by the addition of cadmium sulphiide and selenium to the molten glass. It is occasionally called "selenium ruby"
