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"
Ruby-tailed wasp inspecting a Mining bee nest, where it may lay eggs for its larvae to feed on the larvae of the bee.
This was the scene when I arrived at Ruby Beach Sunday evening, the sun was just going behind some clouds so I scrambled to find a halfway decent exposure, which I suppose is not hard at Ruby... ;-)

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.

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.
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 fast moving little bird, that doesn't sit still to get good photos but I got lucky.
Regulus calendula
The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is a tiny bird that lays a very large clutch of eggs—there can be up to 12 in a single nest. Although the eggs themselves weigh only about a fiftieth of an ounce, an entire clutch can weigh as much as the female herself.

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.
"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.
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.
