I walked into this small wooded meadow at Broughtons Wildlife Education Area near Marietta Ohio were a trio or more of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds were busy feeding on pale or Yellow Touch Me Nots
"If any adult in the area around the cabin is observed with a weapon after the surrender announcement had been made, deadly force could and should be used to neutralize the individual." Those are the words in our ROE. Deadly force could and should be utilized. What a cluster fuck this is. One white supremacist with a wife and kids, all holed up in a cabin and we're out here like we're laying siege to a mountain fortress. I know that one of our fucking snipers is going to actually follow these ROE's and kill someone they're not supposed to. I just fucking know it man. I hope that Weaver guy in the cabin knows what the hell he's getting himself into.

As I approached the covered pier at Fishtrap Creek Park I could hear a wonderful bird song. This little Ruby-crowned Kinglet was singing it's heart out.
Little Ruby is definitely my best poser:) She enjoyed a few bits of meat today as she tried her hardest to stay still.
Fact:
Ruby Falls is unique and different from any other cavern in that the stream drops a sheet 145 ft. presenting the world's most spectacular underground scene. The massive chamber which houses this 145 ft waterfall is 1120 ft. below the surface of the earth.
Fact:
Hard to capture it's amazing beauty with a camera!
Fact:
Must see in person to truly appreciate.
I didn't want to crop out anything because I wanted you to see as I saw it. I am sorry about the equipment there at the bottom. They had a light show with the falls and the color changed throughout the show. Quite spectacular! I was in awe the entire time!
It is not the clearest of shots, but if you choose to, please view large. Definitely not sharp.
This series is of the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds that took up residence in and around my back yard and garden this past Summer.
I found it amazing how perceptive these little creatures are. They would fly rite up in front of me and hover when I would enter their space . I think to say please leave my space, or hover and feed within a few feet of were I sat or stood, but point a camera in their direction and poof they were gone. Still I have managed to get a few pics of them . here are a few of my favorites.
Ruby Throated Hummingbird - Fancy Gap, Virginia
Bird Species (# 201) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000
Adult female ruby throated hummingbird.
Shown on a TV show called Home & Backyard in their Picture Perfect segment. 7/15/17
And the hummingbird said, "Fine, if you look at me, I look at you!"
Y el colibrà dijo, "¡Bueno, si me miras, te miro a ti!
The Ruby-crowned Kinglet has the sweetest little spring song. Quite pleased to hear it and capture a few images of them.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - Scherman-Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary, 9 Hardscrabble Road, Bernardsville, New Jersey
A re-post of an older image posted as a 500x400 crop in the comment section that was not view-able at the full screen size. After another look at this capture, I thought it deserved a second post, so I re-cropped it to a wider format, that now allows it to be viewed full screen.
And then there's the fact that I miss these guys since I'm usually in Florida by the time they show up in New Jersey. So seeing them in my archives is the next best thing to being there.
Note: Good thing these guys are small,
because there's only about an inch of DOF at F8
on an 840 mm rig.
A female ruby-throated hummingbird from Labor Day weekend at Mill Pond. I think its a female although I suppose it could be an immature male. I staked them out at the garden and awaited my chance. This was the best I could do. Not too much noise for ISO 800 and a little crop. Such quick little buggers.

These little hummingbirds will be going south soon! I am kind of sad about it! I love the challenge of photographing them and just enjoying watching them!
A flash of green and red, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is eastern North America’s sole breeding hummingbird. These brilliant, tiny, precision-flying creatures glitter like jewels in the full sun, then vanish with a zip toward the next nectar source.
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird beats its wings about 53 times a second.
I had heard several different Golden-crowned Kinglets during my walk and I heard this bird before I saw it and knew it to be a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Last year around this time we had large flocks hanging around waiting for winter to lose it's grip on the interior.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird... focus is a tad soft. I try to get shots of them in flight but away from the feeder which is a bit more difficult. If you want to provide food I suggest planting native wildflowers such as cardinal flower, blue lobelia, bee balm, red buckeye, blue sage. Non-natives that they seem to enjoy include any purple flowered sage... red or purple tubular flowers in general. My complete photo archive is available here.
