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!

Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments :-))

Have a great day!

Ruby Beach ist auf der Olympic Halbinsel an der Südseite des Olympic National Parks gelegen.

Ruby Beach hat seinen Namen von den rosafarbenen Edelstein-Fragmenten, die man im grauen Sand findet.

Als Teil des Olympic National Park bietet die Küste von Ruby Beach eine wunderschöne Aussicht über Berge, Gletscher, Regenwälder und jede Menge Wildnis.

1981 erklärte ihn die UNESCO zum Weltnaturerbe.

Ruby Beach

We were birding out in the Cross Timber oaks when this little male flew in and landed in front of us. Sat there preening for several minutes. Unfortunately, the sun was at his back, so we didn't get to see that beautiful ruby-colored throat.

Our beautiful world, pass it on.

It was another great day to photograph these beauties with Allen (asparks306) in a field near Cordova, Tennessee.

Ran across two pairs of kinglets this morning and got several good shots of this bird. Never got a usable shot of their other. That's why I shoot away when I get a cooperative model. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

A tiny bird seeming overflow 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.

They are tiny songbirds with relatively large heads, almost no neck, and thin 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 - 18 cm)

Photo made on Ruby Beach at Olympic Peninsula. A spectacular scenery. I've got there before the sunset which was amazing. This particular photo was made just when I got to the shore. The low tide and the ever changing light was providing wonderful and interesting shapes and transforming frames of visions. The trail is very light and the logs barrier are not challenging to go through. Loved every second at this bit of our Earth. Foto feita em Ruby Beach na Olympic Peninsula, Washington State, USA. Tive muita sorte de presenciar e registrar um pôr de sol magnífico e com a maré baixa pude fotografar bem destacados os stacks, (ilhas na beira mar).

No ruby throat on her. I'm still trying to photograph the male, but he's not as friendly.

Lots of dragonflies around but so far I have been finding a limited number of species.

Explored.

In the front yard, not much variety in dragonflies but they make up for it in numbers.

Sympetrum rubicundulum

Ruby-crowned kinglets visit our Japanese maple every spring to get nectar from the emerging leaves. This year's visitor struck a pose.

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 by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.

Thanks for visiting!

Celebrating our ruby reunion at Kadkani River Resort with a special guest: the purple-rumped sunbird! ✨ Its iridescent hues and energetic flitting perfectly mirror the joy of reconnecting with the class of '84 after 40 years.

We got to Ruby beach a little late so we didn't do a lot of exploring. I haven't spent that much time at the beach so I guess this would would be called a really large tide pool. Either way it offered some nice reflections with just a little color.
