Photographed at Snoqualmie Wildlife Area, Cherry Creek Unit. There were at least half dozen of these birds that were very cooperative. Several of them wanted to show me their ruby crowns, which of course I was very willing to look at and photograph.

Returning from my trip to the Skagit Valley I decided to bypass the Everett and Bellevue area traffic and take the back route to I-90 at North Bend. There are a number of public areas around Duvall and Carnation. I decided to stop at the Snoqualmie Wildlife Area, Cherry Creek Unit, and was not disappointed. There is a nice variety of birds on the property.

Thank you for the views, comments, invites, awards, and faves.

An artistic look to this image...something different!

This juvenile male Ruby throated hummingbird is starting to get some of his red throat feathers. The birds are becoming used to me sitting quite close to the feeder and are a treat to watch. We have about four that have been chasing each other away, as they aren’t great at sharing. They have tried to chase the goldfinches off, but have not been successful.

Amazing.

This male Ruby Throat Hummingbird has become a regular visitor at our feeding station in our back yard.

Ruby had a big day at LexFarm's annual Harvest Fest. She was very patient with the many kids brushing her, and enjoyed lots of locust tree leaves.

A little visitor outside my kitchen window brightned up my morning!

Para minha amiga linda que tem nome de pedra preciosa.

Although you can barely see it, this is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

The finale of a gorgeous sunset envelopes the aspen-clad slopes of the Ruby Range near Kebler Pass in south central Colorado. I spent two hours in this meadow a couple of miles from our camp, watching the light and color change as the sun sank and the cool air began to drain into the valley. The two peaks on the skyline are Mount Owen (l,13,070 ft/ 3984 m) and Ruby Peak (r, 12,630/ 3850 m).

Thanks for your visit, faves and/or comments.

ODC-Ruby Or Burgundy Red

Red is my absolute most favourite colour! Actually Puce is, and that's a combination of Red and Brown together. The diamond and ruby earrings on the left were given to me after my mother in law passed. I simply love them! Middle is my Red Faberge Egg and on the right are the little diamond and ruby earrings I bought myself (many years ago) from Herlzberg Diamonds Store in Albuquerque. I'm going to pass these on to my daughter, she was born in July and the Ruby is her birthstone.

Ruby wants to let you know that we've just learned this waving trick so now she can personally say hello to you all!

"Hummingbird Texture" by Patti Deters. This Ruby-throated Hummingbird (archilochus colubris) image was photographed in my own backyard in Minnesota. It kept trying to "eat" from from the frost-nipped leaf. I'm not sure what the attraction was - perhaps there was a small pool of water on the leaf that it was drinking. Several textures have been applied for artistic effect. If you like this image, please enjoy more at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/hummingbird-texture-patt....

Ruby-crowned kinglets (Regulus calendula) are so tiny and cute, but getting one to sit still is next to impossible.

Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington

It's a ruby and a crystal. What should we be calling it? That's a corundum to contemplate.

Cuffie River Nature Retreat, Tobago

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.

This is another in the series of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds from Strawberry Plains, when Allen (asparks306) and I 'worked' the garden area of the Davis house. I preferred the backward formation of the wings, along with part of its body pushed forward. The plant in the image is Coral Bean, a favorite of these birds. Everyone have a nice weekend!
