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.
HSoS 😊

Ruby throated hummingbird, Rondeau Provincial Park, June 29, 2023.
We have had a dozen, or more, hummers in the yard harassing each other.
This one was gauging two feeders so he was busy.
Archilochus colubris.
Make sugar water mixtures with about one-quarter cup of sugar per cup of water. Food coloring is unnecessary; table sugar is the best choice. Change the water before it grows cloudy or discolored and remember that during hot weather, sugar water ferments rapidly to produce toxic alcohol.

I've been looking for a hummingbird nest for many years with no success. A big thank you to Dan Keener for pointing this nest out to me.
Wikipedia: The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) 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 the most common hummingbird in eastern North America, having population estimates of about 35 million in 2021.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Took this shot yesterday(?) for my friend Eileen in Scotland.
Archilochus colubris
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are eastern North America’s only breeding hummingbird. But in terms of area, this species occupies the largest breeding range of any North American hummingbird.
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...

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!

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

Here in the Mid-Atlantic States we really only have one hummingbird; the Ruby-throated. Occasionally, a vagrant Anna's Hummingbird will show up from the West, but this is generally a rare occurrence. Too bad we don't have a greater variety of hummers as they are some of the most beautiful birds on the planet. Guess I will have to make a trip to Costa Rica at some point with the sole purpose of photographing the great number of species down there. Please view large for best experience.
It is Monday and back to work. Have a Great Day ~!

Thank you for looking at my photos. It is very much appreciated.
Female. I only saw the female Ruby-throated Hummingbird today. I purposely shot this a little slower today cause I wanted to try and get the wings to disappear from their motion, but still get a sharp head. This was at 1/1600 sec. I would usually shoot at least 1/3200 sec. Plus it was very dark where I photographed. Fortunately she appears in the sun briefly.
A tiny bird seemingly overflowing with energy, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet forages almost frantically through lower branches of shrubs and trees. Its habit of constantly flicking its wings is a key identification clue. Smaller than a warbler or chickadee, this plain green-gray bird has a white eyeing and a white bar on the wing. The male's brilliant ruby crown patch usually stays hidden, only to be exposed if excited.
They are tiny songbirds with relatively large heads, almost no neck, and this tails. They have very small, thin, straight bills.
Both sexes :
length : 3.5 - 4.3 in (9 - 11 cm)
weight: 0.2 - 0.3 oz (5 - 10 g)
wingspan : 6.3 - 7.1 in (16 - 18cm)

Difficult to get a clear image of this bird as it flits around never seeming to stop for longer than a second.

The female Ruby-throated Hummingbird taking a rest at the Heather Garden of Fort Tryon Park in New York City.
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.

Nature’s palette is on full display as this Ruby-crowned Kinglet rests among brilliant red twigs. A fleeting moment of stillness, where the bird’s hidden crown finds its match in the landscape.

Ruby-crowned Kinglets in coastal southern Alaska and British Columbia are slightly smaller and darker colored than elsewhere in their range.
Ruby-crowned Kinglets are olive-green birds with a prominent white eye ring and white wingbar. This wingbar contrasts with an adjacent blackish bar in the wing. The “ruby crown” of the male is only occasionally visible.
These are restless, acrobatic birds that move quickly through foliage, typically at lower and middle levels. They flick their wings almost as they go.
These little Birds rarely stop , constantly on the move.
