Very pretty bird. My photo doesn't give him any justice. First of all, had some bad light and only caught him 3 shots. This one at least had more wing colors. His crown color of ruby didn't get captured either. But it was the best of the 3 shots so I'll post it to my collection lol. Better luck next time. Actually got this shot a couple weeks ago on the south eastern part of the park and just decided to throw it up tonight.
Moraine State Park, PA
this little ruby crowned kinglet has been showing up at the suet feeders every time we've had snow! So hard to photograph as it never seems to stop moving - they aren't typical "feeder" birds - more likely hopping about in shrubs or trees
Photographed in the backyard setup in Memphis, Tennessee.

Just put up my hummingbird feeder three days ago and it's stays pretty active with this Ruby-throated Hummingbird feeding all day long.

Historia Natural
Alimentación
Visitan flores de una gran variedad de hierbas, arbustos, bejucos y árboles, sobre todo aquellos que producen gran cantidad de flores pequeñas y frecuentemente polinizadas por insectos, o flores aisladas (por ejemplo, flores de siete negritos (Lantana camara), Stachytarpheta, o a veces de guabas (Inga spp.)
En raras ocasiones poseen territorios de alimentación, pero pueden cazar en los territorios de especies más grandes.
Comportamiento
Generalmente se encuentra subordinada a la mayoría de las especies de colibríes locales.
Ciclo anual
Es una especie migratoria neártica.
Habitat y Distribución
Habitat
Viven en bosques secundarios, charrales, bordes de bosques deciduos, y en ocasiones en bosques de galería, plantaciones de café y zonas verdes en áreas rurales.
Distribución
Es una especie residente invernal de poco común a localmente común en las bajuras del Pacífico norte. Es de rara a ocasional a través del Valle Central y en las bajuras del Pacífico sur, y regular, aunque muy poco común, en la región de Los Chiles-Río Frío; en el resto del lado del Caribe solo ocurre como una divagante muy rara, sobre todo durante la migración otoñal de mediados de octubre a noviembre. En primavera emigra entre finales de marzo y mediados de abril.
Distribución fuera de Costa Rica
Se reproduce al este de Norteamérica, desde el sur de Canadá hasta Florida y Texas. Invierna desde el noroeste de México y el sur de Texas regularmente hasta Costa Rica y casualmente hasta el oeste de Panamá.

Descripción
Descripción científica
Mide 8 cm.; el macho pesa 2.7 grm. y la hembra 3 grs. Es más blanco por debajo que los otros colibríes pequeños en su ámbito de distribución; muestra las primarias internas angostas, las puntas entre romas (hembras) y con ángulos muy agudos (machos).
El macho adulto es verde bronceado por encima, incluso en las timoneras centrales, y la cola está profundamente ahorquillada, con las timoneras laterales negras y puntiagudas. La mancha postocular es blanca y la gorguera es rojo rubí. El collar es blanco a través de la parte de adelante del cuello, y el resto de la región inferior es blanco grisáceo, con manchas verdes en los lados.
En el macho las mejillas y auriculares son fuscos, y toda la región inferior es blanco grisáceo, con manchas verdes a los lados. La cola es redondeada, con las puntas de las timoneras laterales romas y la base entre verde y grisáceo,la faja subterminal negra y puntas amplias y blancas. El pico y las patas son negras.
Los individuos juveniles son semejantes a la hembra adulta, pero con los bordes anteados en las plumas de la región superior, sobre todo en la rabadilla y en la nuca, y las bases de las timoneras laterales más fuscas y las puntas más redondeadas (especialmente en las hembras). Los machos generalmente presentan algunas plumas rojas en la garganta y menos blanco en la cola.

Shot with Nikon D810. This is a shot of Ruby Falls in Washington State, USA. A cascading waterfall flows over rugged rocks, surrounded by lush, green forest. Soft, misty water contrasts with the vibrant moss and foliage clinging to the rocky cliffs.
The hummingbird wars are heating up. First we have my dominant male, and in the second flight shot, that should follow this one in my photostream, we have a juvenile male ruby-throated contender that gives the dominant male the most attitude. The others try to sneak to the feeders when these two are fighting. Since we are finally getting some rain, I had to slow the shutter speed to get decent exposure so that is the reason for the blurred wings, but the eyes are sharp. The brown background in the pics is my dormant grass from lack of water.
Las guerras de colibríes se están calentando. Primero tenemos a mi macho dominante, y en la segunda toma de vuelo, que debería seguir a esta en mi secuencia de fotos, tenemos un contendiente macho juvenil de garganta rubí que le da al macho dominante la mayor actitud. Los otros intentan escabullirse a los comederos cuando estos dos están peleando. Como finalmente llueve, tuve que reducir la velocidad del obturador para obtener una exposición decente, por lo que ésa es la razón de las alas borrosas, pero los ojos son nítidos. El fondo pardo en las fotos es mi hierba inactiva por falta de agua.
Well, no "field-craft" required for this shot. I found this ruby-tailed wasp moribund on the windowsill in our garden room. There's quite a few active in the garden at the moment. I put it on a cosmos flower in the garden. because that's where lots of hymenoptera head for nectar.
When I went back, it had perked-up a bit, so I picked the flower to take it somewhere better to photograph. The wasp fell off though and landed on some cosmos petals on the ground. I picked it back up and rested the petal on the flower. The wasp kindly turned around and adopted this pose. I got a couple of shots before it flew off. I trust that it survived OK!
They are so extraordinarily beautiful - I find them so much easier to forgive than the nomada.

I walked into this small wooded meadow at Broughtons Wildlife Education Area near Marietta Ohio were a trio or more of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds were busy feeding on pale or Yellow Touch Me Nots
Distribution and Migration
Ruby-throats breed throughout eastern to midwestern North America, from southern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Most winter in Mexico, Central America, and on Caribbean islands, although a few remain in the Gulf states and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Most researchers accept a remarkable non-stop crossing of the Gulf, taking 18-20 hours. They arrive at the coast in late February or early March, and follow the development of spring flowers northward. Males migrate earlier than females, in both directions; some adult males start south as early as July. The female breeding birds leave in September, with the young of the year following; the last juveniles depart abruptly at first frost (mid-October). By mid-November the fall migration is essentially completed throughout North America.
A fanciful and amusing myth has arisen regarding hummers hitching rides on other birds.

Previously we wrongly identified this bird as a Hammond's flycatcher - it turned out to be a female ruby-crowned kinglet (thanks to Mark and Liam in the comments). Seen in the Cariboo, roughly between 150 Mile House and Horsefly, this bird was part of a number of migrating flocks of small birds that we saw during our stay. D500_20487.NEF. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.
The Ruby-tailed Wasp is quite lazy and the females lay their eggs in the nests of other solitary bees and wasps, especially Mason Bees. When the eggs hatch, they eat the larvae of the Mason Bees. This gives the Ruby-tailed Wasp its other name of 'Cuckoo Wasp'.

This was an image I took at Ruby Beach with my uncle while he was visiting from Chicago. Took him on the whirlwind tour of Washington so he could see some of the epic spots that makes the state of WA so great. We got some great conditions and a great sunset. Thanks for checking out my image, and please do not use this without specific permission of Scott Pudwell Photography.
