We are lucky to have several hummingbirds visit our feeder. When two birds visit the feeder at the same time, a chirp-laden chase typically ensues. I have been dreaming of getting two birds in the same shot and this is as close as I have gotten so far.

Ruby-tailed wasp (Chrysis viridula) stalking mason wasp (Odynerus spinipes) nest burrows. Dorset, UK.
These ruby-tails are a type of 'cuckoo wasp' and lay their eggs in the nests of mason wasps.
With thanks to Chris.
Ruby is now a 14 month old Labrador / German Shepheard cross bitch whom a friend of mine aquired very recently due to her previous owner's partner developing an alergy to her. She is a very agile bouncy affectionate dog and seems to be permanantley happy. She is also a rather large which often results in a heap of person and dog.......
She is seen here in a field on the hottest day of 2011 sofar totally unperturbed about the heat and waiting intentlly for her ball to launched. She is exceptionally inteligent and picks up instructions and keeps to them after only a couple of attempts
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.
Inspired by my friend Mosippy's Gotta Dream.
Ruby loves her frosted cookies and sprinkles! She won't risk anyone stealing them!
BTW: Please ignore the fact that, while I am indeed 22 years old, my voice sounds much closer to 5 when heard on recordings...

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.

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
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!
