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)

Ruby has a Moh's hardness--scratch resistance of 9
Nephrite Jade has a Moh's hardness of 6.5 but Jade is way tougher than Ruby or Diamond because of it's interlocking crystal growth. That's the difference between scratch resistance vs toughness.

Ruby was my sister's little cat. My sister passed away 8 years ago and probably Ruby has now gone too.

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!
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 pretty winter day full of sunshine in Maryland today, and after getting the household chores done in the morning, took the Sony long lens to a local park in Baltimore County.
Was able to capture another new first for me ... while in the woods there were two of these little ones, about the size of chickadee. They were also always on the move, and not pausing for long.
Really liked this capture of the Ruby-crowned Kinglet ... the results on the Sony 7RM5 and the 600mm at about 25 feet or more away ... still came away with lots of details on this tiny feathered friend.

Such gorgeous colour on the throat.

This is a female ruby-throated hummingbird that I shot at my parents' house in Marshfield, Wisconsin.
Was very busy on a pine tree trunk but stopped just long enough for me to get a shot!

Happy New Year to all my Flickr friends. This year I am going to make a concerted effort to comment and post more photos. Look forward to seeing what y'all are doing.
A male Ruby-tailed Wasp. This is a composite of several images; combined using Zerene Stacker. Haven't seen many of these in the garden this year.
Ruby-tailed wasps are cuckoo wasps. The females lay their eggs in the nests of other solitary bee and wasp species.

Oh my goodness! This is a lifer for my yard birds. I've only seen one other bird of this species, and only got one shot of it (Lake Apopka North Shore Wildlife Drive 2016). This was in the front yard, in God's garden, playing in the sprinklers on the Simpson's Stopper bush. Am I blessed or what! Thank You, Jesus.
This is such a great bird for me (practically homebound). This is at the same time as the Orange-crowned Warbler! Isn't that just something!
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...
