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

Sedgewick Forest is currently overrun with RC Kinglets and Yellow-rumped Warblers.

This frenetic little bird was a challenge to photo. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Ruby is the Wright-Locke Farm director's rescue dog. She is fortunate to be able to hang around such a lovely place. I found here waiting by the squash house at sunset today, and had to click away.

This is from a recent trip to Ruby Beach out on the Olympic Peninsula. This was my first time visiting this location and I nearly missed a pretty good sunset due to the "shortcut" I attempted. It was tough to find a great composition due to the number of people on the beach with cameras. Nearly everywhere you looked there was someone with a tripod set up.

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!

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.

Ruby-crowned Kinglet

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.

A Ruby-crowned Kinglet gave me a quick opportunity for a picture.

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…

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.

A fast moving little bird, that doesn't sit still to get good photos but I got lucky.

  

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.

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

Ruby Throated Hummingbird - Maybe a juvie female? Not sure.

I spotted several Ruby-crowned Kinglets and I suspect they were chasing a perspective mate.

This is perhaps my favourite ever photo of a Ruby Tailed Wasp.

 

This I believe is Chrysis ignita and is found across the UK from April through to September.

 

Being barely 10mm in length, they are difficult to spot. You can often see them running restlessly over walls and tree trunks, constantly using their downward-curving antennae to pick up the scent of their host insect. As a parasite they require another species for part of their life cycle, Chrysis ignita mainly parasitizes mason bees and other solitary bees.
