I just spotted another RTHU, so they are still here. We're getting lots of bird activity this morning, along with drizzly weather. Winter birds should be arriving soon- I've seen reports of both juncos and White-throated sparrows in the area. The seasons are changing! Glendale, Missouri

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.
Ruby-crowned Kinglets seem nervous as they flit through the foliage, flicking their wings nearly constantly. Keeping an eye out for this habit can be a useful aid to identifying kinglets.
Metabolic studies on Ruby-crowned Kinglets suggest that these tiny birds use only about 10 calories (technically, kilocalories) per day.
The oldest known Ruby-crowned Kinglet was a female, and at least 8 years, 8 months old, when she was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Texas in 2017. She was banded in the same state in 2008.

Spent a fun day at Bill's Backyard Bird Blind sitting in a comfy chair, 15 feet from a flower bed yesterday. Saw three of these little guys. This one looks like a juvenile male. A fill flash was used.
Somewhere in PA.
Ruby is an eclectus parott living at the Bloedesel Conservatory, Vancouver. Working on my procreate painting skills. She sure has a LOT of feather to paint!
Ruby crowned kinglet. A twitchy little bird to be sure, so I'm always impressed when I can get a half way decent shot of one. It was kind of dark but I really liked the symmetry of its perch.
Ruby-crowned Kinglets right now in this area are plentiful and singing their energetic, upbeat song. It's always great to see them with their crest showing.

" Hovering in front of a flower to sip nectar, it beats its wings more than 50 times per second. Impressive migrants despite their small size, some Ruby-throats may travel from Canada to Costa Rica."

Thanks for viewing, faves and comments are always appreciated !
This is a stylized image of Ruby Beach, Oregon where I went with a great group of friends from Colorado. They have taught me so much and Cindy, who I now refer to respectfully as Professor, is continuing to teach us remotely on Zoom. Thanks guys.
Dappled light on a landscape, or chiaroscuro to the early artists, catches the eye and adds complexity to a landscape.
It had rained much of the previous night, and the clouds were lifting, allowing sunshine to light the various colors of aspen foliage. Dappled light on a patchwork of colors.

Hard to believe the way they never sit still.
I have yet to take a photo of a kinglet with its crown raised. Hopefully I can get that shot one day. For now here is a Ruby-crowned Kinglet at North Point State Park in Edgemere, Maryland.
I saw my first ruby throated hummingbird of 2019! He posed so nicely for me in the flowering tree in my backyard :-). He sat there for a while right next to my hummingbird feeder.
Spent the weekend using off camera flash (like the world famous Browns do). It took a while to get set up. Think it's a keeper. Shot at Bill's Back Yard Bird Blind.
