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.

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.

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.
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.

Another older image brought forward. I'm showing you images that continue to get a lot of views.

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.
This side is covered to the brim in tiny faceted rondelles of ruby, over 100 of them, closely bound to create a dome shape.
Ruby Throated Hummingbird Green Spring Gardens - I think it was telling me what it thought of my photographing it.
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.
Sorry for the huge upload! I just wanted to get June finished!
I went for a relaxing drive with two of my friends just for the scenery. I enjoyed myself because I did not have to drive and was able to get some photos of the mountain scenery through the windshield!
We went for a little walk while at Upper Kananaskis Lake and I was surprised to have a Ruby-crowned Kinglet flitting about. Terrible photo but at least I saw it.
Thanks for your visits and comments! They are all greatly appreciated!
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!
Ruby Farm has been a family run business since the 1850s. On Saturday morning in late summer you can buy vegetables from this location.
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!

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.

It's amazing what you can find in your own yard. This little immature male RT hummer has been buzzing around our yard like crazy with his siblings. I was finally able to catch him (just barely) feeding on our firecracker plant.
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.
