A male Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) relaxes on the tip of a branch, the highest point of the tree, in order to view the surrounding habitat for any danger or intruders to its territory in the aspen woods along the shores of Islet Lake west of Tofield, Alberta, Canada.

This bridge crosses Ruby Lake and separates two private properties. One, a home and the other a restaurant. The Lilly's in the foreground help bring the viewer in, while the colored trees in the background deliver a reward for doing so. Ruby Lake is up the highway from Sechelt and on an overcast day, delivers some vivid strong colors in the trees. The lake however, was like glass given a momentary hiatus from the rain.

One of several scenic ranges that make up the West Elk Mountains, the Ruby Range is the backdrop for some beautiful views of fall color. The aspen on the southern flanks of the range make up the most extensive stands in Colorado, only a portion of which are seen here from Beckwith Pass. The two prominent peaks are Ruby Peak and Mount Owen. The conifer forests here have escaped the outbreaks of spruce beetle that have killed numerous trees in surrounding mountain ranges.

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.

Thanks for taking a look!

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

First of the season. Always fun trying to get shots of these

Thanks so much for the visit!

Manchmal sind Rubine etwas heller. Es kommt auf das Licht an, in dem man sie sieht.

A ruby can have many reds.

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.

Happy to have these little birds back in the garden, light was a bit better in between rain showers.

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. .

Birds get up to weird stuff when it's snowy/icy out. Usually when I see ruby-crowned kinglets they're in trees, hopping quickly from branch to branch.

This one was hopping quickly, but out on an open snow field.

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.

Such Beautiful Tiny Birds.

I hope you all enjoy this image

Have a very blessed week ahead everybody!!
