Had a pair of kinglets pass through down at the greenbriar patch this morning. They didn't stay long. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
I haven't touched my camera in weeks. This is from a few weeks back, before everything turned green. I really should find the time to do another hummingbird photoshoot, so I can get some nice green backgrounds.
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.
Ruby sleeping!
In HDR. I felt like going overboard today, so what do you know? I like HDR, it's not my fave but it's OK. Some people think there's something wrong with HDR but I am indifferent really. I like the way it produces nice reflections in windows and nice shadows.
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.

One of the delights of the roughness of the country around the cottage is that all kinds of birds nest there. This fledgling Hummingbird, unlike its parents, was relatively unafraid of me and my camera, and frequently got chased away from the feeder by adults, and had to perch nearby waiting its turn.

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

"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.
