The Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula) is a very small Passerine bird found throughout North America. It is a member of the Kinglet family, Regulidae, derived from the Latin word regulus for "petty king" or prince, and refers to the coloured crowns of adult birds. The kinglets are a small group of birds formerly included in the Old World warbler, but now given family status (Monroe, B, 1992). Some studies showed that, despite superficial similarities, the crests are taxonomically remote from the warblers (Barker et al, 2002; Spiecer, G & Dunipace, L, 2004).
When I saw this dragonfly I've bben a little bit astonished becaues I thought this to be a white-faced darter. Later I reckognized that this is a ruby whiteface whis had been reported only one time in the Black forest for 30 years.
Als ich die Libelle sah, dachte ich, es wäre eine Kleine Moosjungfer, die außerhalb ihrer üblichen Umgebung, dem Hochmoor, unterwegs wäre. Später bemerkte ich, daß es sich um die Nordische Moosjungfer handelt, die in den letzten 30 Jahren nur 1x im Schwarzwald gemeldet wurde.

Regulus calendula
Ruby-crowned Kinglets seem nervous as they flit through the foliage, flicking their wings nearly constantly. Keeping an eye out for this habit can be a useful aid to identifying kinglets.

I was surprised to see this Kinglet pop up in my viewfinder. I thought it was a little early to be seeing them here in Georgia....9-29-2021...No Ruby showing, but a kinglet nonetheless...;-)

#6, the eastbound California Zephyr, paces the Colorado River through Ruby Canyon moments after crossing the state line into Colorado.
The present right-of-way dates back to around 1890 when the D&RGW rerouted the mainline through Ruby Canyon as it converted the route from Salt Lake City to Grand Junction to standard-gauge. The original D&RG narrow-gauge route bypassed the canyon to the north between Mack, Colorado and Whitehouse, Utah.
No new Warbler shots today. Here is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird taken two weeks ago. Thanks to Peter Stahl for this opportunity.
We don't see a lot of Humminbirds here.

Last year I spent a good amount of time shooting the most common Florida hummingbird, the Ruby-throated. All I saw were females, which while beautiful, lack the bright iridescent throat that gives the species its name. When I read up on them, I learned that most of them in South Florida are migratory, the males arriving and departing first. Several friends let me know that they had males at their homes well after the males must have left the area where I was shooting. I’ve recently spent many hours attempting to get the shot I had in mind, a male Ruby-throated with its ruby gorget lit up by the sun. Let me tell you, it’s not easy. I managed to get several that I thought were good, but not what I had in mind. Yesterday, I finally got one that fit my mental picture of what I was after. I’m not done and have some other poses and backgrounds I’m after and will hopefully get before they migrate out in the spring. (Or I get invited to someone’s house where they stay year long. Hint, hint.) (Archilochus colubris) (Sony a9iii, 400mm lens with 1.4 extender for 560mm, f/4, 1/6400 second, ISO 6400)
The woman in the shot stood there forever, so I ultimately had to incorporate her into my composition for this view and then I changed positions. What was frustrating is she wasn't even looking at the sunset or the landscape. She spent most of the time texting on her phone. So I thought about titling the series of shots with her, "Untouched by nature".
A migrant from the yard, we typically see these guys every fall in October and November. Glendale, Missouri
From last week-- I thought I'd mix in some other pics with the fall landscapes and water shots. They are still around in our yard, off and on. I think this pic really gives a feel for their flightiness-- they are always moving. Glendale, Missouri
The other day while taking photos, I observed two hummingbirds chasing each other around the yard. Several times one of them had stopped no more than five feet in front of me and hovered for a few seconds before continuing on its way. As if taunting me, they just hung there until I began to bring the camera up, then they flew off. <a href="https://corey-bourassa-photos.squarespace.com/journal/2016/9/9/ruby-throated-hummingbirds">Read more ...</a>

Ruby Canyon, which carries the Colorado River for 25 miles, is in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area in western Colorado. From my campsite.
While walking around Airlie this morning, I passed this little bird hopping around near my feet on a pathway. I was absolutely thrilled to see this beautiful Ruby-crowned Kinglet! While I got low to the ground, he kept hopping towards me and at times, too close to focus! I like this shot because it displays his "crown", is in decent light and the snow adds something too!
On a cloudy somewhat dreary day with a couple hours to kill, we stopped by the Butterfly Garden. As always, the RCKs are the most cooperative bathers.
