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. .
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.
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.

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

The species is a frequent migrant to Wisconsin and an uncommon northern summer resident. During the nesting season, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet is found in a variety of forested habitats in the far northern region of the state.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird
The season appears to be over over for me, haven't seen any Hummingbirds in 2 weeks now
Shot through a cyclone fence looking down into a creek on a dark and very cold day. I rarely get to see the red crown of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet so this was a real treat.
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.
