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'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
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.

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
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.
Photographed in the backyard setup.

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.
Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Sept 27, 2021.
Difficult to get a clear image of this bird as it flits around never seeming to stop for longer than a second.
Corthylio calendula
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.

One of the beaches we visited on the Pacific side of Olympic National Park is Ruby Beach. This was a beautiful beach with a ton of driftwood, cool rock formations, beautiful greenery, crashing waves and way too many people for my taste. I managed to get some photos without any people in them somehow. I spent a lot of time experimenting with different types of shots and subjects near and far at this location. I am going to post a few photos of this location and then a few more tomorrow. When we first arrived it was pretty overcast but the sun did come out for some of the time which really helped liven up the landscapes.
