The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to 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.
This hummingbird is from 7 to 9 cm (2.8 to 3.5 in) long and has an 8 to 11 cm (3.1 to 4.3 in) wingspan. Weight can range from 2 to 6 g (0.071 to 0.212 oz), with males averaging 3.4 g (0.12 oz) against the slightly larger female which averages 3.8 g (0.13 oz).[2][3] Adults are metallic green above and greyish white below, with near-black wings. Their bill, at up to 2 cm (0.79 in), is long, straight, and very slender. As in all hummingbirds, the toes and feet of this species are quite small, with a middle toe of around 0.6 cm (0.24 in) and a tarsus of approximately 0.4 cm (0.16 in). The ruby-throated hummingbird can only shuffle if it wants to move along a branch, though it can scratch its head and neck with its feet

Mods done: Eyes opened and eyelids carved
Makeup on chalks and acrylic paint.
Eyelashes carefully placed. Eyes are "fairy eyes".
Ruby Dancers
Ruby Dancers, as I watch you
Twisting in the breeze,
Your tiny ballet slippers
Just a-kicking as they please!
Your fluttering jade-green tutus
Go a-flapping in the wind,
As up, up, up! then quite abrupt
You come spinning back again.
Oh, how you delight me
Bringing music to the air,
While gracefully adorning
The step, the stoop, the chair!
I love to wake summer mornings
To find your slippers cast about;
Ruby-dye bleeds onto my palms
As I...busily toss them out!
So now, the entire front-garden
Is paying homage to your beauty;
After all, when its Fuchsia dancing,
'Tis the Balletomane's chief duty!

Ruby Grapefruit through falling water. I have used Photoshop to remove flash artifacts, so I apologize if that is obvious in some of these.
You seldom get the perfect capture in these experiments, but sometimes you get tantalizingly close.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Heinz NWR. Not a very good shot because he is very small and was far away, but it's not often that you see a hummingbird perched in a tree.
