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-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 a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to 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.
This hummingbird is from 7 to 9 cm (2.8 to 3.5 in) long and has an 8 to 11 cm (3.1 to 4.3 in) wingspan. Weight can range from 2 to 6 g (0.071 to 0.212 oz), with males averaging 3.4 g (0.12 oz) against the slightly larger female which averages 3.8 g (0.13 oz).[2][3] Adults are metallic green above and greyish white below, with near-black wings. Their bill, at up to 2 cm (0.79 in), is long, straight, and very slender. As in all hummingbirds, the toes and feet of this species are quite small, with a middle toe of around 0.6 cm (0.24 in) and a tarsus of approximately 0.4 cm (0.16 in). The ruby-throated hummingbird can only shuffle if it wants to move along a branch, though it can scratch its head and neck with its feet
These real ruby beads remind me of cranberries - they'll be whipped up into jewellery soon...Blogged: www.silverpebble.me.uk/?p=1059
The ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) are really numerous this year! I'm having to fill the feeders every day.
Playing around with a new point-and-shoot Lumix, a FZ1000 II. Sometimes ya just don't want to carry a bunch of lenses.
As speedy as popping popcorn I was thrilled to have gotten several photos of this little Ruby Crowned Kinglet as he leaped from branch to branch searching for insects.
Ruby: mom, i know you think you're a hot shot or something because your clients won last night, but what about me?
Me: Ruby, after tomorrow I'll be home all weekend, promise.
Ruby: you better! or esle...
