Animal in wildlife.

Things have been slow in my yard when it comes to hummingbirds! In the last few days I started to see more activity and I am hoping it lasts! I just love these little birds and watching them is pure joy for me!

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.

Looks like he had close call with his tail feathers.Nick named Cutey-pie.

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.

I have never seen a smoother-running Accucraft Ruby. When you consider this one hasn't had the inside/outside admission swapped, it is mind-blowing. It also has the stock pistons. A lot of us upgraded to a larger bore piston.

 

My friend Mike spent a while fiddling with the eccentrics to nail the timing perfectly.

ABOUT SYNTHETIC RUBY:-

Synthetic gemstones are physically identical to their natural gemstone counterparts that are mined from the Earth. They have the same physical properties and chemical composition as naturally occurring gemstones. Ruby is aluminum oxide colored red by chromium. Synthetic ruby is often made by simply melting aluminum oxide that contains a trace of chromium. The resulting crystal has the same internal atomic structure as natural ruby as well as the same optical properties, hardness, and chemical composition.

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...

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is a small hummingbird with a slender, slightly down curved bill and fairly short wings that don't reach all the way to the tail when the bird is sitting.

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are bright emerald or golden-green on the back and brown, with gray-white underparts. Males have a brilliant iridescent red throat that looks dark when it's not in good light.

Smile on Saturday theme Frutaria

 

These are the attractive ruby berries of the Guelder Rose growing wild in the meadows. Although they are mildly toxic to us folk the birds just love them.

 

Happy Smile on Saturday!

  

I think this is a Ruby Throated Hummingbird, but I may be wrong. His colors are a little different than pics I found on line of Colorado birds.

He is very small, about 2"-3" long, he landed in a branch just above me and just sat there quietly.

Another pic of this gal in our yard, I like the pose she gave here.
