Do you see me? Ruby-throated hummingbirds have surprisingly good camouflage.
¿Me ves? Los colibríes garganta rubí tienen camuflaje que es sorprendemente bueno
(ARCHILOCHUS COLUBRIS)-FIELD MARKS-metallic green above adult male has brilliant red throat, black chin, whitish underparts, dusky green sides- female has whitish throat;grayish below,buffy wash on sides.
This is the preferred perch for this male ruby-throated hummingbird. Sure, it perches other places, but not as much as this perch. As you can see, it can't stay long before it is time to launch another defense of his territory.
Esta es la percha preferida del colibrí garganta rubí macho que ha declarado mi patio como su territorio. Seguro que se posa en otras ramas de vez en cuando pero no con la frecuencia en que se posa aquí. No puede disfrutar su percha mucho porque pronto se arroja a la defensa de su territorio.
Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park, Washington.
In 2009 my Mt. Rainier and Olympic National Park workshop will be July 18-26.

I have all but mailed backyard open house invitations out to the hummingbird community! 💌📬📮I have 3 feeders out and have host of plants planted to attract them. I've gone through at least 2-3 lbs of sugar keeping them clean and filled. No hummers. UNTIL TODAY! Yay! Now I hope they will stay!
This tiny bird flitted around me for a good ten minutes. It was hunting for insects that were wintering under the holly leaves. It spent much energy hover-flying under the leaves.
An interesting species fact: The female Kinglet will lay a large clutch of eggs with the weight of the eggs equal to the weight of the bird.
This week’s theme in The Wire Artisans Guild’s weekly challenge was ‘Ruby Treasure’. At first I was stomped and didn’t have a clue what to make. But shifting my thoughts from ‘ruby’ to ‘treasure’ released the flow and I started to think about what I treasure most in the world. So I poured all my love for creating jewellery into this piece, thinking about my children, how much I treasure them and what a blessing they are. (Even though the drive me nuts sometimes…:)
This locket will hold whatever you treasure most. One side is completely made in sterling silver wire and with the letter ‘T’ for Treasure on it. The other side is covered to the brim in tiny faceted rondelles of ruby, over 100 of them, closely bound to create a dome shape.
On the inside, the silver wire side is lined in magenta coloured satin-silk. I carefully singed the fabric to prevent fraying and it is not glued or sown on to the locket. It stays in plays by hooking on to tiny ends of wire underneath it. (I’ve shaken the locket quite hard to see if the lining would fall out, bit it stayed firmly in place.) This side also holds the coiled wire, that you can place a photo or hang a special treasure from.
It closes with a bow of thin magenta coloured ribbon of satin-silk. This is ribbon also singed, ever so slightly, to prevent fraying of the ends.
The locket hangs from a simple yet gorgeous sterling silver chain, just over 83 cm (32”) long that closes with my handmade hook style clasp.
Ruby at the Grand Canyon in 2013. My wife insisted she wear her "Princess" dress for the outing. Her Majesty surveying the majestic scenery. Or just trying to figure out how to get to the lizard on the rock. :)
I captured this female Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Silver Creek Preserve in St. Clair County, Illinois.
We had our Ruby Wedding anniversary on the 25th of Jan this year. Our friends gave us a Ruby Anniversary Rose. The poor thing got hammered in the winds we had earlier in the year but has given us one very small rose that smells beautiful.

The hummingbirds certainly enjoyed the sugar water I put out for them, but the natural stuff is still good too.
Los colibríes disfrutaron mucho del agua azucarada que les dejaba, pero el néctar natural todavía es bueno.

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.

A tiny bird seemingly overflowing with energy, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet forages almost frantically through lower branches of shrubs and trees. Its habit of constantly flicking its wings is a key identification clue. Smaller than a warbler or chickadee, this plain green-gray bird has a white eyering and a white bar on the wing. Alas, the male’s brilliant ruby crown patch usually stays hidden—your best chance to see it is to find an excited male singing in spring or summer.
Ruby Court is a development of small office units at the edge of Downtown Micropolis. It gets its name from the dark red glass sculpture which adorns the courtyard in the middle of the buildings. Ref: D1739-14
