My dominant male ruby-throated hummingbird who is still ruling my backyard with an iron fist (wing.)
Mi colibrí garganta rubí macho dominante que todavía rige el patio trasero con mano (ala) de hierro.
First night along the Olympic Peninsula. I just had to go to Ruby Beach after seeing so many of the wonderful pictures of this place. Let me tell ya, it doesn't disappoint. It is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. I could spend days at this beach photographing it.
The sky this first night was good, with a little fog rolling in. The next night the sky was even more spectacular. Stay tuned....
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.

The Ruby Mountains, often called the "Swiss Alps of Nevada," are a breathtaking mountain range in northeastern Nevada, known for their rugged peaks, alpine lakes, and diverse wildlife.
Ruby-crowned Kinglets are tiny songbirds with relatively large heads, almost no neck, and thin bills. They have small, thin, straight bills.
Both sexes :
length : 3.5 - 4.3 in (9 -11 cm)
weight : 0.2 - 0.3 oz (5 -10g)
wingspan : 6.3 - 7.1 in (16 -18 cm)
Ruby-crowned Kinglets are olive-green birds with a prominent white eyeing and white wing bar. The wingbar contrasts with an adjacent blackish bar in the wing. The 'ruby-crowned' of the male is only occasionally visible.

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).

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

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet ( Corthylio calendula) is one of the smallest and most frenetic songbirds. Every photographer I know talks about how frustrating they are to photo.
They were removed from Regulas in 2021 and placed in their own genus Corthylio. Three subspecies are currently recognized. They are winter birds for me in Oklahoma. Conservation status is Least Concern.
Photograhed in the backyard setup in Memphis, Tennessee.

Golden hour at Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park.
Of the three main beaches at Olympic - Ruby, Second and Rialto - this is my favourite, as you can photo the big sea stack from either side depending on the light.
The bright scarlet color of Bee Balm (Monarda) in my garden is definitely a favored bloom for the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. This juvenile male will eventually have throat feathers that will match the ruby-red of the flower he loves. Tomahawk, WI 7/20/2020

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

Well the time has come for Rubin to explore the world without his foster mum. We took them both back to the stud today where Rubin will have his DNA taken, branded, have a hernia operation and eventually weaned off Ruby.
Ruby saved the day when she accepted 3 day old orphaned Rubin as her baby after she herself had lost a little baby only days earlier.
They will be put into a paddock with several other mares and foals, then the stud staff seperate mares from foals, and the foals then have to cope on their own. At least he will have some playmates. Stay safe Ruby and Rubin. And thanks Ruby for looking after our little rebel.
Photographed near Ellensburg, Washington. Thank you Jeff and Dave for putting us in the right place at the right time for this photo and the eagle photos. IMG_1622
SOOC challenge for 52 in 2015. Only adjustment was to calibrate with camera/lens (a feature of Lightroom, so it's as much as I took it as possible), and a crop.
I drove down to Ruby Beach with @tomhill_photography recently. You’d think that drowning his phone in sea water would slow him down a bit, but no such luck… that f*ckface still managed to get a beautifully processed shot up a day ahead of me. What a dick ;-)… Anyhow, we were standing shoulder to should for this shot and it’s awesome to see how different a few inches makes to a composition.
One thing is certain, we both LOVED Ruby Beach. The light, the mist, the waves… all of it. This was actually a single exposure (rare for me, I know!) but I attribute that to the new Canon 5D MkIV that I picked up a while ago - There is definitely better dynamic range and cleaner iso on this camera. Loving it so far.
I was using my polarizer and a 3 stop ND filter to get my shutter open long enough to get this water motion captured. I was pretty excited when this popped up on the view finder. I might have squealed…
