Cedar Creek flows to the Pacific at log strewn Ruby Beach in Olympic NP. The sun had already fallen below the horizon when I arrived, but luckily the sunset light had not entirely dissipated.
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!
Got out early this morning in an effort to beat the heat with hopes of getting a look at the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds feeding on the Coral Bean. While the opportunities were few, this one worked out rather well for me.
A difficult bird to get a clear shot of and I wanted to get the ruby crown.This is all he would give me for now.
This ruby-throated hummingbird (a female or juvenile) perched above my garden as I staked it out with my camera today. I was able to creep very closely and zoom in. She soon saw another hummingbird and took off in pursuit, though.

Kinglets are possibly my favorite little bird to take pictures of, because they tend to give lots of chances, but move around enough to keep it challenging.

Thank you Kelly and Julia for the wonderful testimonials. They are amazing photographers and you should definitely start stalking their streams if you haven't already!
This is Sarah, my childhood best friend, who is an amazing person and wonderful model! Especially for her first time being Sean and I tossing buckets of water at her!
You should keep an eye on his stream for his version of the shoot (I think he caught better splashes than I did!) Sean is also a childhood friend that I see once or twice a year and a wonderful photographer :)
Ruby-throated hummingbird.
I saw her mate the other day, just after I set the camera down for a second. 😮
Many thanks to all those who View, Comment and or Favorite My Photos. It is greatly appreciated. Scott :)
Brazilian Ruby is a hummingbird species found only in Brazil, as the common name suggests. This is a female, with green back and crown and orangish throat and breast. The white ‘teardrop’ behind the eye is a good field mark (though this is not the only hummer in the country with one). This individual was perched quietly at Eco Lodge Itororó above the city of Nova Friburgo in Rio de Janeiro State.
Here’s the back side of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. It’s a female checking out some blooms of what I’d done my best to identify, Fire Spike Red (Odontonema strictum) If I have the plant wrong, please let me know. I’m looking forward to spending some more time shooting them and hopefully getting a male with its ruby throat on fire. (Archilochus colubris) (Sony a1, 400mm f/2.8 @ 2.8, 1/5000 second, ISO 4000)
I remember how excited I was the first time I saw the Ruby-crowned Kinglet in my bird bath earlier this year. It was so skittish and took me a long time before I got a photo. This little one has become so comfortable with the amenities in my yard, he/she has been willing to pose for some photos today. I am so happy to welcome a new regular to my yard. BUT, the other regular Cooper's Hawk came for a visit today, too. I don't think it got anything, but you know...
Prize of the day.."Do the Dooooo "another of nature's wonders...this tiny male Ruby- Crowned Kinglet puts on a little show for me and stays still for a MICRO second to allow a photograph....these little birds are more than twitchy...and can migrate to this part of the continent to breed from as far south as Central America and the southern USA. This one seen and photographed in Lanark County, between the cities of Ottawa and Kingston in Eastern Ontario . This male is exhibiting its Ruby coloured crown that it derives its name from...Canon 5d4 and 600 F.4.0 ii =+ 1.4 Tele Extender tripod mounted, ISO 400 i/800th @ F.6.3
