Ruby-throated hummingbird

One of many coming through our yard right now-- the air is buzzing with tiny birds. This young male is dining at our aphid-infested swamp milkweed. Glendale, Missouri

Beautiful female ruby-throated hummingbird feeding at the not-so-beautiful flowers.

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...;-)

Seeing a rival, this ruby-throated hummingbird dives down to meet him.

Viendo a su rival, este colibrí garganta rubí se lanza para abajo para conocerlo.

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.

Here's a little better shot of Ruby Beach. As you can tell, the fog had rolled in, but by this point, it was starting to burn off, thankfully! Hope you enjoy!

Ruby on Red - In additional to the Gallinule, I was able to capture this Ruby-crowned Kinglet against some nice red berries. Too bad the crown wasn't showing in this frame - would have been great color coordination. Great reflex/autofocus practice, nevertheless.

We don't see a lot of Humminbirds here.

Female ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) visiting giant ironweed (Vernonia gigantea) flowers.

Found this pretty Rubytail resting in my garden, nice surprise, this is much larger than the ones I saw in my local woodland last year, would love to know which species it is.

 

Not the best shot as it flew off so only got this for ID purposes

Backyard birds. Springfield, Mo.

A tiny bird seemingly overflowing with energy, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet forages almost frantically through lower branches of shrubs and trees. Its habit of constantly flicking its wings is a key identification clue.

It is not very often I take out my dear ninety-four year old Ruby for a spin, but it was a perfect, calm spring morning to show her off in the neighbourhood.

A forced perspective shot of my 1/18th scale die-cast model of the 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS by CMC, taken at the pond in our retirement village in Mount Gambier.

 

The main reason I don't take Ruby out more often is that the model is more of a limited edition collectors item now and very hard to buy, being one of just a thousand around the world. I get nervous when there are folks walking their dogs while she is carefully balanced on my tripod mounted road!

Olympic National Park. Well after sunset. No wind and the fresh water stream created a perfect mirror for the heavy clouds. Joy and I had the opportunity to spend 20 days exploring Olympic and Rainier National Parks and the Oregon coast. The road trip covered 4000 miles. Coming from the brown of southern California, the intensity of the GREEN in the temperate rain forests wad almost overwhelming. The weather was tough (it is a RAIN forest!) and the light challenging, but it was a magnificent trip. I hope you enjoy some of the shots.

My first encounter with this species over a decade ago is what got me into birding. I just could not believe this tiny creature stood up to me as I peered into its shrubbery and popped is "ruby," much to my delight!

One of the very few occasions where/when I have seen a male Ruby Throated Hummingbird this year.

Giving it's underside a clean.

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".

Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated

#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.

The ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Canada and other parts of 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.
