This one was feeding between the raised beds and gave me a clean background. Very nice of it. 😉

I waited all summer to capture a Hummingbird in my yard, and today was the day he/she hung around long enough for me to take a few shots!!

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.

First of the season

Metabolic studies on Ruby-crowned Kinglets suggest that these tiny birds use only about 10 calories (technically, kilocalories) per day.

Hard to believe the way they never sit still.

Another look at that ruby spot!

Vancouver, B.C.

Always a joy to watch and so much fun to photograph!!

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.

Chrysolampis mosquitus - Male - Small hummingbird with a rather large range across northeastern South America and eastern Panama. Male is unmistakable with a golden throat, a ruby-red crown, and an orange tail with dark tips. Female is trickier to identify, but note the pale gray underparts, white-tipped tail feathers, and dull grayish green upperpars. The short and slightly decurved bill should also help identify the female. Fairly common in open habitats, including savannah, forest edge, and gardens. ebird.org/species/ruthum1
