Ruby-crowned Kinglet
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)
A cute ruby crowned kinglet from my yard. These are one of my favorite visitors and they are the kind of bird that seems to benefit from my presence on the deck scaring the other birds (especially house sparrows) away.
Another tiny bird - wt 0.25oz, length 4", wingspan 6" - and found throughout boreal North America, but this one has the flamboyant crest of a Roman gladiator, and a beautifully complex, high-pitched acapella.
Olive or gray coloured with the lighter colours underneath, white teardrop-shaped eye ring, large head, no neck, white wingbar, short tail, short bill. Displays crimson crest when disturbed, otherwise keeps it concealed under headdress.
Twitchy, lots of nervous energy, never sitting still, flicking wings nearly constantly; forages near the ground but rarely on the ground. Migrates - northern North America in summers, southern States in winter. Nests high in the conifers.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet in my yard in Chester County, PA.
Although records show that a few of these little birds do over-winter here, I have only very seldom seen them at this time of year.

(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.

For 121 pictures in 2021 #80 "Ruby red", this is a closeup of an amaryllis that started blooming a couple of days ago.
Hundreds of kinds of hummingbirds nest in the American tropics, and more than a dozen in the western U.S., but east of the Great Plains there is only the Ruby-throat. There it is fairly common in summer in open woods and gardens. Hovering in front of a flower to sip nectar, it beats its wings more than 50 times per second. Impressive migrants despite their small size, some Ruby-throats may travel from Canada to Costa Rica.
This youngster hovered for a momment just to see what all of the clicking was about. He gave me a few good shots. 😊

The Mexican petunia, a decorative and introduced plant in the USA, attracts the hummingbirds that visit my yard.

Ruby-throated hummingbird female
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. Wikipedia

BIG BIRD in a small body.
These little guys are smaller than your thumb, but seem to have NO FEAR! Huge birds like Herons and Egrets run for their lives, if they happen to notice you can see them, a half mile away.
Yet when I spot these tiny little birds almost anywhere they couldn't care less if you see them or not. In fact sometimes they become so curious about what you're up too, the will come land on a branch right next to your head so close there's no way your camera can even focus on them. Some times even Hummingbirds will do that, almost willing to land on your nose to get a good look.
While even flocks of thousands of geese or ducks will scramble for their lives if you merely drive by in a truck a quarter mile away. What's up with that?

7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
