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.
This is Ruby, the only survivor out of a litter of 4. All of them had roundworm and I took her and a remaining sibling to the vet's office, I guess I was a little too late, her brother died after bringing him home to the vet, but even when Ruby had a cold and was fighting off roundworm and anemia from all the fleas she had...she still played with Mama.
This Ruby Throated Hummingbird is another one of the sweet finds on my first visit to the Chicago Botanic Gardens. I would really like to revisit in better lighting conditions, but I was just excited to have had the opportunity to watch one of these little hyper birds.
