A female Ruby Throated Hummingbird at my back yard feeder . This appears to be a female but there is also a very camera shy male.

I first photographed Ruby as a newborn but she is now 10 months old and dressed in her holiday best! She just gets prettier and prettier! IMG_5006
Ruby Beach, Washington. I'll never forget the name of this beach as we met the best puppy named "Ruby" owned by a great couple from Seattle.

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.

Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird... About to feed at my parent's Hummingbird feeder...
Not a very good image, but due to their small size, the distance to him, and working with my short telephoto lens, this was the best I could produce... Heavily cropped to bring him to this size :(
Not the best crop, either, but placing him anywhere else would have introduced a whole lot more white light blobs like the few you already see here...
What little beauties these birds are... Makes me smile in awe.
This is a 3mm diameter ruby stylus tip on a measuring machine my company builds. I like the fact that the ball acts like a lens and you can see the fluorescent lights above the machine in the ball.
A (female, juvenile?) ruby-throated hummingbird sitting on her amazingly well-constructed nest. The tree was blowing around in the wind, but the nest (and bird) didn't move. The dark blotches under her beak reflected ruby-red from certain directions, but not in this picture, unfortunately.
