A male ruby-throated hummingbird hovers near a feeder, showing part of his tongue.
It's always eventful around the hummingbird feeders. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are working on bulking up for their long journey to overwintering grounds in Central America.

I am not 100% sure of the ID here. I took a number of shots and the difference in the birds color between shade and sunlight was dramatic. Please correct me if I'm in error. I'll be away from flickr for a couple of days, I'll catch up when I get back.
Ruby, Trish & I were almost playing phone tag yesterday trying to figure out who could come help me, but they both ended up coming over. I had to run out to a friends house last night so the editing for this picture was done this morning.

The idea for Ruby’s Diner was born in 1980 after a run on the beach. Doug Cavanaugh had just returned to his native Southern California after successfully restoring and running a restaurant on Nantucket Island off Cape Cod. One evening he was brainstorming about business opportunities with his father, and remembered that he had seen a dilapidated building at the end of Balboa Pier while jogging along the beach. “Although the building is in pretty bad shape now, its architecture really lends itself well to that of a 1940’s diner. I wonder if I could get the place from the city and turn it into a diner that would bring back the fun and nostalgia of that era?” he said. With his father’s encouragement, Cavanaugh started to make the restaurant a reality.

The Ruby Slippers
"Sixteen-year-old Judy Garland wore these sequined shoes as Dorothy Gale in the 1939 film classic The Wizard of Oz. In the original book by L. Frank Baum, Dorothy's magic slippers are silver. For the technicolor movie, they were changed to ruby red to show up more vividly against the yellow-brick road. One of several pairs used during filming, these size-five shoes have felt soles, suggesting they were used for dance sequences."
The annual Hummingbird migration festival will be staged September 10-12 at the Strawberry Plains Audubon Center in Holly Springs, Mississippi. This female Ruby-throated is one of many that will be visible on the grounds.
Without the access to a Ruby Tuesday in Los Angeles (and even if there were one, I wouldn't be able to eat the halaal-less meat) I took full advantage of the restaurant in the Citystars mall in Nasr City, Cairo.
We went last night to get stuff from Snippeys, and we decided (well I decided really) to eat dinner at the place I've been obsessed with for so long but had never ever been to.
What did I order? Bacon Cheeseburger. Oh yes. Cheese, beef, bacon. All halaal of course. It was tasty... but I wish I hadn't gone with the bacon. It gave the burger a werid taste. It didn't taste like real bacon (says Amy) but I was more interested in the beef anyway.
I was considering ordering a steak as well... but was unanimously convinced not to. I'll go back to doniate the sirloin, Inshallah, mark my words!

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, bladelike wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects.
During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/sec, 61x/sec when moving backwards, and at least 75x/sec when moving forward.
