These little birds have been teasing me for awhile and I finally got one (without the ruby crown) the other day. But today I was lucky that this one sat long enough so I could get a few photos. Phew!

I visited Ruby Beach several times before, but a few weeks ago I was finally rewarded by this kind of beautiful sky, for the first time.
The Ruby-crowned Kinglet has the sweetest little spring song. Quite pleased to hear it and capture a few images of them.
In our story Ruby is a sister of Morion and Opal, but she was born without any magic. As she could not stand living with her more talented sisters (especially with elder Morion), she left their house in dark, deep wood and started new life in the capitol. There - looking for a good job - she found an Assasins Guild. At the moment she is a boss one of a Guild assasins group and meets her sisters only if Guild does need a special powers.
We added a few details in Ruby's company face-up to make it more evening like. Now she is standing here in her new edwardian dress, and looks just awasome... But the pictures will have to wait till Sunday, when we will have a time to do it and when we will have the last dress of a new collection ready :3

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

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), is a small hummingbird. It is the only species of hummingbird that regularly nests east of the Mississippi River in North America.
After the heavy rains yesterday, there might have been a fallout of migrating Ruby-crowned Kinglets at Fishtrap Creek Park this morning. I came across at least a dozen this morning, they have definitely been present in other areas recently but not in these numbers. They seemed to be singing up a storm every time I stopped to listen.
"El poblet de Rúbies aplegava 44 habitants en començar el segle [XX]; a l'any 1950 n'hi quedaven encara una vintena, però d'ençà del 1970 ja havia estat abandonat per la família Baulies, la darrera que hi restava. Totes les cases s'han anat esfondrant llevat de la casa Baulies que encara se serva dreta, no sabem per quant temps." Manuel Cortès i Ribelles El Montsec i muntanyes veïnes, Centre Excursionista de Lleida, 1984.
Once we passed the fiery rock monster it was clear sailing. That evening, as the moon rose in the sky we reached Lower Ruby Falls. It was a remote, beautifully stark, and lonely place. But this is not what we came for. The magical Upper Ruby Falls was our destination. We camped at the lower falls for the night and planned to reach the upper falls the next day.

I believe this to be a Moser demitasse cup with some hand enameling. The little seeds spilling out are petite rubies...
Just put up my hummingbird feeder three days ago and it's stays pretty active with this Ruby-throated Hummingbird feeding all day long.

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.

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.

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.

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 male Ruby-throated Hummingbird is shiny metallic green above, greyish white below, and has a forked tail. He wears a splendid gorget, or throat patch, of silky, ruby red feathers, which sometimes appear orange, or even jet black, depending on the light. The female is similar but has a greyish-white throat patch. Her tail is rounded, and some of the outer tail feathers are marked with white spots. These she often displays when posturing and in flight. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird’s bill is long, straight, and almost as slender as a darning needle.
These diminutive birds never stop moving and so it's tough to get a really clear shot of them. For the split second they do perch on something, the camera is still moving to catch up to them. Still, I wasn't disappointed to get this shot, clearly showing off the ruby in his crown!
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-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.
