A backyard visitor,
Small, fast-flying bird known for its shimmering green feathers and, in males, a brilliant red throat patch called a gorget. (The gorget can appear dark depending on where the sun's angle hits the feathers.)
A Ruby-tailed Wasp having a wash on our garden shed (close to the bee-hotel). He was distracted and let me get close enough for several shots at x2.

This Ruby-crowned Kinglet was flitting around in the trees next to the parking lot at Brazos Bend State Park during a recent visit. It was great to be greeted by such a cute and cooperative little bird!

Hummingbirds split from their sister group, the swifts and tree swifts, around 42 million years ago. The common ancestor of extant hummingbirds is estimated to have lived 22 million years in South America. They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to humans.

Showing off his beautiful ruby throat. We've nicknamed this little guy "Shaggy" because of his shop worn appearance.
The hummingbirds are still trying to fatten up before migration. I only have three left in my yard though.
Los colibrís todavía se engordan preparándose para su migración. Sólo me quedan tres colibrís en mi patio. Pronto se irán.

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula) is a very small Passerine bird found throughout North America. It is a member of the Kinglet family, Regulidae, derived from the Latin word regulus for "petty king" or prince, and refers to the coloured crowns of adult birds. The kinglets are a small group of birds formerly included in the Old World warbler, but now given family status (Monroe, B, 1992). Some studies showed that, despite superficial similarities, the crests are taxonomically remote from the warblers (Barker et al, 2002; Spiecer, G & Dunipace, L, 2004).
