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
It's nice to see the Hummingbirds have shown up at the Metro Park feeding on the flowers off the boardwalk bridge where they tend to feed every year.
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.

Enjoying my migration visitors while I can, caught this Ruby investigating the Mandevilla bloom. Archilochus colubris
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.
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.
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)
A Ruby-tailed Wasp leaving a hole in one of our garden bee-hotels. They are VERY active and when I saw it entering the hole, I waited with my camera for it to emerge. They often pause before flying off.

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