Kinglets are tiny insectivores that actively forage for insect and spider eggs on the undersides of foliage. They weigh less than an ounce and are among the smallest of songbirds. They often hover in front of a branch, gleaning food from its tips and undersides. Kinglets often flick their wings as they move about.

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 Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. It is located on Highway 101, in Jefferson County, 27 miles (43 km) south of the town of Forks.

Another project thats taking up 95% of my time is the Mirai Smart Doll project - bit of a bumpy ride but learning a lot as I go along.

Hopefully will be able to show you the robotics moving first week of June.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about then read this post.

Thats all the updates for now - I now need to go for some fresh air and back to work ><

Ruby-crowned Kinglets are olive-green birds with a prominent white eyering and white wingbar. This wingbar contrasts with an adjacent blackish bar in the wing.

Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25–30% of their body weight, and they have long, blade-like wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but backward, and to hover in mid-air, flight capabilities that are similar to insects and unique among birds. Hummingbird hovering has been estimated to be 20% more efficient than performed by a helicopter drone.

This ruby-throated hummingbird was acting like a "feeder guard" protecting the feeders from any usurpers to his territory.

Este colibrí garganta rubí hacía guardia y protegía "sus" comedores contra cualquier usurpador que hubiera.

Ruby Throated Hummingbird - Green Spring Gardens

These kinglets are tiny, energetic birds. Smaller than a warbler. Always nervously flitting about in foliage, often foraging for small insects. This is the first male I've shot with his crest extended.

Our beautiful world, pass it on.

So Ruby and Moose had their playdate this morning. They were together for a couple of hours and it went quite well, I think.

They didn't flat out fight at all, but there were some rocky moments. Moose tried to hump Ruby a few times, and pulled out a mouthful of her fur at one point. Overall, Moose showed more interest in Ruby than Ruby did in Moose. But after an hour or so, Ruby at least tolerated Moose, allowing him to groom her and they sat close together for a good while.

The start of a loving relationship? We'll see. I'm taking Ruby back over to the sitters next week and let her stay there with Moose for a couple of nights.

Ruby the rollergirl is ready to skate into your heart!

Ruby was created especially as a donation for a raffle at Blythecon - so you might go home with your very own new happibug! Ruby sports an anchor tattoo in honor of her roller derby team, "The Portland Sailors". When she's not working out with her team, Ruby studies medicine at Oregon Health and Science University. Ruby is a custom Simply Chocolate (fbl mold) with an adorable layered bob. Ruby skates to win in her dollicious romper in blue polka dots and red stripes, with a removable anchor pin. She has a felt helmet decorated with sequined polka dots (to protect her smart and pretty little head during derby games!) and handpainted matching roller skates with little rhinestones on the wheels! Ruby's pull charms are an anchor and a tag that says "smile" because that's what we hope Ruby will make you do! <3

Thanks so much for visiting and saying "Hi" to Ruby! Together, we send you lots of love!

Just after sunset the thick bank of fog that had shrouded Ruby Beach almost all day began to clear so I stood among the rocks and continued making exposures until the light was gone.

Cheers!

Mr. Hummingbird was nice enough to let me paint his ruby throat.

The Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge was purchased from Albert Hankins and established in 1938/39 by the U. S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service.The refuge covers 37,632 acres in the south end of Ruby Valley. At one time the area was covered by a 200 foot deep, 3000,800-acre lake known as Franklin Lake. Presently 12,000 acres of marshland remain on the refuge grounds. North of the refuge is a 15,000-acre seasonal wetland that is now referred to as Franklin Lake.

the female has a white throat !

Backyard Nature

After yesterdays heavy rain and wind Mill Lake Park was filled with birds. Several Ruby-crowned Kinglets were rapidly checking out the bushes and trees.

Do you see me? Ruby-throated hummingbirds have surprisingly good camouflage.

While the sun goes down, the lights go up..

'09 was quite a productive year for me (the latter half of it anyway). There were a couple of personal faves, but there can only be one shot.. and this is it.

Why have I chosen this? I was working with new equipment and barely got into strobing, but I was so pleased with how this turned out. Actually, I was sorta running like a chicken with its head cut off because the sun had already gone over the mountain, and I still had a handful to shots to get (had to cut 4 frames and the frontis out because there was no more time!).. still, the enthusiasm that went into this shot by all of those involved make this my candidate for Flickr's "Best of 2009." tk 2 Dec 09
