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.
The other day while taking photos, I observed two hummingbirds chasing each other around the yard. Several times one of them had stopped no more than five feet in front of me and hovered for a few seconds before continuing on its way. As if taunting me, they just hung there until I began to bring the camera up, then they flew off. <a href="https://corey-bourassa-photos.squarespace.com/journal/2016/9/9/ruby-throated-hummingbirds">Read more ...</a>

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.
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.
Early morning sitting on the deck with my coffee and Bandit, I took this shot of him sitting on a decorative tomato cage I put near the feeder. They love to sit on them.
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.

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.
From early fall, posting because I just saw one in the yard yesterday but missed a photo. They are an unusual winter visitor here. Glendale, Missouri.
