This Ruby-crowned Kinglet was flitting around in the trees next to the parking lot at Brazos Bend State Park during a recent visit. It was great to be greeted by such a cute and cooperative little bird!

Hummingbirds split from their sister group, the swifts and tree swifts, around 42 million years ago. The common ancestor of extant hummingbirds is estimated to have lived 22 million years in South America. They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to humans.

Finally caught a male ruby-throat hummingbird with his colorful ruby throat in full display.

Also he was not on a feeder so that was a bonus.

When I shoot from a blind, it's sometimes very dark, with a canopy of green leaves which will alter the color of the birds. My goal is to try and capture a bit of light to hi-light the birds, normalize the whites and bring their true colors back.

The hummingbirds are still trying to fatten up before migration. I only have three left in my yard though.

Los colibrís todavía se engordan preparándose para su migración. Sólo me quedan tres colibrís en mi patio. Pronto se irán.

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.

 

Like virtually all beaches on the northern coast, Ruby Beach has a tremendous amount of driftwood. It is notable for the number of sea stacks there.

 

The beach is so called because of the ruby-like crystals in the beach sand.

Another shot of this Ruby-crowned Kinglet, a little glimpse of the ruby crown showing through.

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.
