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)

Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated
Tiny ruby crowned kinglet. You can barely see the ruby patch on the head. Taken at Fletcher Park, Fletcher, NC.
On a cloudy somewhat dreary day with a couple hours to kill, we stopped by the Butterfly Garden. As always, the RCKs are the most cooperative bathers.
A flash of green and red, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is eastern North America’s sole breeding hummingbird. These brilliant, tiny, precision-flying creatures glitter like jewels in the full sun, then vanish with a zip toward the next nectar source.
I found this little cutie in my yard...he likes to visit my suet for an easy meal. I'm still waiting to see a Golden-crowned kinglet in the yard to add to my yard list!
It was quite a challenge to grab a shot of this active little bird, who gave me an occasional peek at his ruby red spot as he jumped from branch to branch!

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.
#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.
Tiny, hyperactive songbird with an uneven white eyeing, plain olive overall, with slightly greenish edges on the wing and tail feathers. The namesake ruby crown is only present on males, and usually concealed. When agitated, it can be flared up into a bright expressive crest.

Ruby Canyon, which carries the Colorado River for 25 miles, is in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area in western Colorado. From my campsite.
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.
For Smile on Saturday - What's in a name....
This is my Mum, always known as Ruby though it was in fact her middle name. The name Ruby simply means the gemstone ruby, and also pictured is her mother's engagement ring which is set with three rubies. My middle name is also Ruby... I hated the name when I was a child, it felt very old fashioned, but now it’s cool again and I love it. And it’s nice to have that connection with my Mum.
This is especially poignant as today is the second anniversary of her funeral. Her birth month is August too, she was was nearly 92 when she died, an amazing achievement when you know that she was such a tiny baby she wasn’t expected to survive.
HSoS 😊
I think....
I just know it was very cute
