Le Thalys Ruby PBKA 4341 Essen - Paris Nord sort du Buschtunnel au niveau de Preuswald pas loin d'Aix la Chapelle ( Aachen ) Juin 2022

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.

This is 1 of 36 bird species I have recorded in Our garden in 2020.

We’re seeing fewer of these little birds as they start migrating South.

Did a multi-flash shoot today on Hummingbirds, one of my favorite subjects and photography techniques. Archilochus colubris

Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Vancouver, B.C.

Ruby Falls located in Chattanooga, TN. They only offer guided tours through this place and most are on pretty strict timing. It can be tough to get the right shot here due to all the people and limited timeframe. The waterfall is buried deep in an extensive cave system. The waterfall itself is so beautiful, mysterious, and serene. Definitely a must see.

So happy to finally get to see these INCREDIBLE beauties out in the wild! There were two of them. They hovered directly over my head multiple times over the hour I spent with them...The 8 ticks I picked up were worth it!

Taken in Victoria Park, in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.

This beautiful male Ruby-throated Hummingbird didn’t seem happy at all when his feeder got taken down for the season today. He kept buzzing around like crazy where the feeder used to be. I gotta say, I felt bad for the little guy. He probably still has a long way to go. I hope he got lots of nectar before the feeder disappeared.

I sometimes think my photography days are numbered, nearly over. It'll be due to pain if so. More on that when I have time to elaborate.

HWW!

Thanks for Viewing.

The petunia petals so weighed down with raindrops reflect the trees surrounding our back yard. I love this tint of red.

It was fun but challenging to photograph these birds since they don't seem to stay longer than couple of seconds in each perch.

The ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Canada and other parts of Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.

This young guy from a couple weeks back wanted to make sure I wasn't after his nectar. I think we may be mostly done with hummers for the season-- we had a front come through yesterday, and I think our remaining birds may have left, as I didn't see any yesterday. Time will tell, but this is a typical time for them to leave. We'll await their return in the spring... Glendale, Missouri

Found the kinglet by the mountain bluebird. I was surprised to see both of them in late December.

I haven't had a chance to get out with my camera recently so here is an image taken this spring of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet searching for something to eat.

Thank you for viewing and wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!! (This is the weekend it's celebrated in Canada)

(Regulus calendula) -- Ruby-crowned Kinglet

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.
