Ruby Throated Hummingbird in very challenging light on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia
We travelled nearly 400 miles through the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains - unfortunately most of the drive was through cloud and fog
This photograph is very impressive considering that it was taken in heavily overcast backlit conditions, handholding a telephoto lens at 1/200 trying to capture a very active subject

The female did not seem bothered by this male coming to perch next to her.
La hembra no parecÃa molesta cuando este macho llegó a posarse al lado de ella.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - Glenhurst Meadows, Warren Green Acres, Warren, New Jersey
I also saw a couple of Golden-crowns, but you know how it is with kinglets (i.e. how seeing them and getting a pic are 2 different things)!
And yet another example of how birds often match the colors of their surroundings.
Note:
840 mm on the 7D format (APS-C) sensor is equivalent to 1400 mm on a full frame body, so a good tripod, a relatively small aperture with a reasonable shutter speed and ISO are essential to getting pics where you can see their feather barbules, beak whiskers, and the glint in their eye. Those of you who have even longer fixed lens cameras will need to be even more careful with your settings, so be sure to use a tripod (or lean your camera against something sturdy) when cranking up the zoom.

Here is Pearl reflected in Ruby.
Ruby is a gorgeous Red Camper van all decked out with sweet retro accessories.
The reflection is a cream sweetie, called Pearl - I was very excited to see that www.snailtrail.co.uk have a van named the same as one of my little poppets...
Thanks for Front page Explore kind people ;)
I went through a lot of work to get this shot. The trail I walked was longer and hillier than I thought it would be. I got my days workout on this one. Not a lot to see but I was a happy to see this little Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
* I wonder if this might be a Hutton's Vireo?
Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the U.S state of Washington.
This is a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird feeding on one of his favorite flowers on my patio - a variety of Lantana called "Red Spread." They seem to prefer any of the varieties that have red flowers, but feed from the yellow blossoms in the center. The wings are a bit blurred - I think he must have moved. I took this at 1/800th of a second, so that gives you some idea how fast the wings move.

I spotted this Ruby-crowned Kinglet hunting through this bush which was suddenly invaded by several Bushtits. The Kinglet was not impressed!
This is Ms. Ruby. She is at bingo EVERY night without fail. From what I understand from others, she was even at bingo the evening of the very day that she buried her husband.
She gets there early every night and save places for her friends.
I asked if I could take her picture for a photo-journal that I am doing about bingo. She said, "yes, I have nothing to lose by having you take my picture. I lose at bingo everynight..."
She asked to see this picture once I get it develpoed...lol
p.s: Thanks artcphoto for the nudge to start asking permission and get some "face pictures"
Photo of a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris). The flowers in the background are red and pink Geraniums (Geranium Caliente).
The photo was taken using manual focus. To capture detail in the wings, two remote Speedlite flash units were used with flash mode set to Manual and flash power set to 1/32.
To answer a question on how this was accomplished using what appears to be a slow shutter speed of 1/180 second, it is an example of the use of High-Speed Photography, using flash on low power, as well as the Max Sync Speed for your camera (1/180 for the Canon 6D). It's a very complex topic.

classic olympic coast weather for our visit to ruby beach. looking forward to planning some multi-day camping trips in and around olympic national park. maybe i'll get a clear night.
Ruby Crowned Kinglet.
The ruby crowned normally keeps its crown hidden, usually only displaying it for mating and when it is very angry.
I have only once seen and photographed a kinglet showing its ruby crown. The photo is shown in the comments box.
I delayed posting this photograph hoping to get a better shot as I had been seeing kinglets every day prior to the recent cold snap. I am posting what I have as I believe all these active little birds have headed South and I wanted to show their beautiful crown.
Photo taken at John Heinz NWR.

With its beak open like this, it is more as if it is quacking than chirping.
Con el pico asà es más como si graznara que piara.

A ruby crowned kinglet (Regulus calendula), who is very reserved about showing his ruby crown, has started coming to the feeder.
