A male Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubrids) undertakes a bit of preening as it patiently waits, on an elevated perch, for any intruders to its territory in the aspen woodlands near Islet Lake west of Tofield, Alberta, Canada.

Chrysolampis mosquitus - Male - Small hummingbird with a rather large range across northeastern South America and eastern Panama. Male is unmistakable with a golden throat, a ruby-red crown, and an orange tail with dark tips. Female is trickier to identify, but note the pale gray underparts, white-tipped tail feathers, and dull grayish green upperpars. The short and slightly decurved bill should also help identify the female. Fairly common in open habitats, including savannah, forest edge, and gardens. ebird.org/species/ruthum1

Captured late this afternoon not far from home, was glad to get my first decent photo of this species. They are one of our earliest migrants to pass through in New England, and are easy to find because of they're loud, distinctive song.
One of the more common birds at my suet feeders in the winter is the ruby crowned kinglet. I always wonder if these cute little puffball birds were an inspiration for Angry Birds game. They have so much spunk when they show their red crown to scare other birds off the feeder as they dive at it. .

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds fly straight and fast but can stop instantly, hover, and adjust their position up, down, or backwards with exquisite control. They often visit hummingbird feeders and tube-shaped flowers and defend these food sources against others. You may also see them plucking tiny insects from the air or from spider webs.
Thanks to everyone that views and comments on my images - very much appreciated.

Here is a photo of Ruby Beach in the Olympic National Park, taken in June, 2018. This was taken from the lower part of the stairway leading down to the beach, looking northward up the beach. To access the beach itself, one has to climb over those washed-up logs that sit at the base of the stairway.
The spiderweb used by hummingbirds is sticky, of course, so the lichens stick to the web and are also caught beneath overlapping strands of silk. The female collects the silk strands of spiderweb and winds them around plant parts and lichens and then fills the cup with plant down. In spring, female hummingbirds are often seen hovering in the eaves and roof overhangs of houses, where they are probably collecting spiderwebs and, perhaps, also dining on small spiders.

Manchmal sind Rubine etwas heller. Es kommt auf das Licht an, in dem man sie sieht.
A ruby can have many reds.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird
The season appears to be over over for me, haven't seen any Hummingbirds in 2 weeks now
Here's another look at a male ruby-crowned kinglet. Notice the much-plainer markings on its head and wings compared to a golden-crowned kinglet. If you look very very close on the tip-top of its head, you will see hints of some red feathers. Ruby-crowned kinglets can completely hide their ruby-colored crown when they want to. This one did flare that flaming crown open for me, but those photos were not so focused.
MEASUREMENTS
Both Sexes
Length: 3.5-4.3 in (9-11 cm)
Weight: 0.2-0.3 oz (5-10 g)
Wingspan: 6.3-7.1 in (16-18 cm)
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. The “ruby crown” of the male is only occasionally visible.
These are restless, acrobatic birds that move quickly through foliage, typically at lower and middle levels. They flick their wings almost constantly as they go.

By the way, did you fellows know that a hummingbird weighs as much as a quarter? Do you think a hummingbird also weighs the same as two dimes and a nickel? But then she asked a question of her own: How do they weigh a hummingbird?
