#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.
Ruby Canyon, which carries the Colorado River for 25 miles, is in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area in western Colorado. From my campsite.
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!
Enjoying my migration visitors while I can, caught this Ruby investigating the Mandevilla bloom. Archilochus colubris
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!

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)

Ruby-throated humming birds are so beautiful, even the females. The male pretty much does nothing to contribute to nesting season. The female will build the nest, lay the eggs, incubate, feed and raise the young until they fledge. Its quite the challenge.
This little chick is days away from fledging,

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are such adorable little birds!
It was so much fun to watch this little female taking a bath from a sprinkler! If you look close, you can see a few water droplets from her feathers.☺️

The Ruby Princess cruise ship docked at the Sydney Cove Overseas Passenger Terminal in Sydney, Australia.
A notification on my phone this morning reminded me that it was a year to the day since I travelled out to Australia for a three week trip. Time for another look back through my photo catalogue to find some of the images from that trip that I didn't post to flickr at the time.
I spotted this Ruby-crowned Kinglet hunting through this bush which was suddenly invaded by several Bushtits. The Kinglet was not impressed!
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!
