Ruby is available for adoption in Northern Virginia, USA, through HART
Ruby and her brother Max were adopted as tiny kittens. They were returned due to a child with severe allergies in the family and are now five years old.
This is the adult male hummingbird, but still quite young. He should be developing the ruby throat soon!
This pretty heart pendant is hand-formed in Sterling silver and slightly domed to create a 3D effect. The heart has a lightly scratched matt finish with highly polished edges to emphasize the shape. A lovely small rose cut pink ruby gemstone is flush set near the centre, for an extra sparkle!
Taken at the Nature Conservancy's Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve in Southern Arizona. I'm not sure if this is the male or the female. There was a courting pair near the creek, and typically they were in constant fast motion, causing me to lose track. Occasionally, the male would flash the red on top of his head, and despite my desperate attempts to capture the red flashes, I was mostly unsuccessful. I did get some red, but those images were blurred or otherwise unacceptable, so this is the best of the rest...

Ruby tiger moths (Phragmatobia fuliginosa) mating. Surrey, UK.
Flew in like a small red whirlwind. Only when they eventually paused for breath was I able to identify them as two moths.
RUBY is a lovely SharPei mix who’s about 18 months old. She’s a gentle, friendly young dog who LOVES to chase a ball – she’ll even bring it back so you can throw it again :-)
She’s also very food-motivated and attentive, so she’ll be fun to take to obedience class, and she seems to get along with other dogs.
Ruby will be a wonderful family companion.
Last year we visited Cape May in NJ during spring migration. On first day at Belleplain Forest we got to see our first Hummingbird and we spent some good amount of time viewing and photographing a pair.
A flash of green and red, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is eastern North America’s sole breeding hummingbird. These brilliant, tiny, precision-flying creatures glitter like jewels in the full sun, then vanish with a zip toward the next nectar source.By early fall they’re bound for Central America, with many crossing the Gulf of Mexico in a single flight.

Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. It is located on Highway 101, in Jefferson County, 27 miles (43 km) south of the town of Forks.
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.

The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is the only hummingbird in its range over much of the eastern United States where it breeds in the summer, making identification fairly easy. They might look like little glittery cotton balls, but they're hardier than you might think, as they migrate across the entire Gulf of Mexico to reach their winter habitat in Central America.
