This very small bird is a winter visitor to my feeders the last few years and is a delight to watch. Only the Ruby Throat Hummingbirds are smaller of the birds that visit my area.
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...

A male Ruby-throated hummingbird on approach to the Salvia flower, from which he will feed.
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 ~!
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.

Kinglets are tiny insectivores that actively forage for insect and spider eggs on the undersides of foliage. They weigh less than an ounce and are among the smallest of songbirds. They often hover in front of a branch, gleaning food from its tips and undersides. Kinglets often flick their wings as they move about.

What can I tell ya.... I'm obsessed with hummingbirds! I've been anxiously waiting for them to show up this season, but in New Jersey, it's a rare find so far. I shot this ruby throated hummer last year and popped him on the blue-eyed grass shot I took two days ago. Hummingbirds are my all time favorite subject to photograph, probably because they're rare AND hard to capture...

This little guy was in the middle of an epic kinglet battle when I interrupted and spooked off his enemy. his crown was still showing as he landed on this open perch and had just enough time to catch him before he took off.

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.
Took this last month at Ruby Beach. Finally got a bit of a sunset. And yes, this was the actual sky :) sorry Greg oh, this happened Sunday night after you left to meet our girl Lynn. I know this shot could use a little lightening on the left but i was too tired to complete the task and my pool boy was off tonight.
Will be offline for awhile. Hope you all have a fabulous week. Thanks for stopping by :)
no warblers on an outing to a members - only park, with specified time slots to space the patrons. No warblers, but these kinglets were fun to try and photograph
Ruby-throated hummingbirds, Rondeau provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, July 12, 2019.
Put out a oriole feeder and had 7 hummingbirds on it in minutes.
Then hung up the hummingbird feeder and had 5 more.
We have had as many as 30 in the yard at one time, but that's mid August.
Archilochus colubris
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds prefer to feed on red or orange flowers (though it's not necessary to color the sugar water you put in a hummingbird feeder). Like many birds, hummingbirds have good color vision and can see into the ultraviolet spectrum, which humans can’t see.
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.

I was just about to cross Cedar Creek when I looked back. I saw that I wasn't quite finished with the day.

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.
