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-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.
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.

Another older image brought forward. I'm showing you images that continue to get a lot of views.
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.
I took this on a Wednesday but what the heck. Ruby does sleep in the strangest positions.

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.
Ruby Throated Hummingbird Green Spring Gardens - I think it was telling me what it thought of my photographing it.
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!

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!

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.
The sun finally came out so I went out and got a couple of shots around the feeders. I found this ruby-crowned kinglet in th mountain ash.
