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.
Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park
Washington
This sunset was taken at Ruby Beach, part of a set of beaches that are within Olympic National Park. The rock outcroppings and sea stacks are unique to each area of the coast. By choosing different tides and times of years, opportunities for composition at these ocean sites are unlimited!
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!
This little bird is not very big ... as you can tell from this shot. But for its size, it has a rather loud voice. Would love for him to have raised its red crown feathers, but it was not to be.
Consideing its size, it's pretty amazing the long distances they migrate for the winter. From Newfoundland to the southern United States and Mexico is a very long way.
Morning fog hovers over Lake Irwin as the peaks of the Ruby Range reflect in its waters during a glorious sunrise. I captured this near Crested Butte, Colorado a couple of weeks ago.
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.
Ogontz Bay, Big Bay de Noc, Michigan
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.
Ruby-crowned kinglet, Rondeau Provincial Park, April 26, 2023.
A regular visitor to the yard and water feature. Not sure how it lost the feathers at the edge of its bill.
Corthylio calendula.
This tiny bird is often hard to see in summer, when it lives high in tall conifers. In migration and winter, however, it often flits about low in woods and thickets, flicking its wings nervously as it approaches the observer. When it is truly excited (by a potential mate, rival, or predator), the male may erect his ruby-red crown feathers, hidden at other times. The song of the Ruby-crown is jumbled and loud, all out of proportion to the size of the bird.

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.

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 magnÃfico e com a maré baixa pude fotografar bem destacados os stacks, (ilhas na beira mar).
Finally, this little speedster sat long enough to provided a glimpse of its crown. Photographed in the backyard setup.

Metabolic studies on Ruby-crowned Kinglets suggest that these tiny birds use only about 10 calories (technically, kilocalories) per day.

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.

In winter the Cross Timber woods take on a dull brownish hue and at times can seem empty. But, in a flash this little bundle of energy can appear, hovering to pluck a dormant insect or chattering defiance to an intruding photographer. Kinglets are literally the definition of "frenetic" and always a challenge to photo.
Note the spider webs in this photo. Until I began photographing birds with a telephoto lens I was oblivious to just how many spiders inhabit the oaks of the Cross Timbers. Many species of birds depend on spiders as a component of their protein diet.
Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Hot out of Grand Junction, CO, the California Zephyr is on its 25 mile journey through Ruby Canyon.

Looking across the aspen-filled headwaters of the Anthracite Creek drainage toward the western slopes of the Ruby Range near Kebler Pass, Colorado. On this particular morning, I wished time could be slowed down, so that the early morning golden light could linger just a bit longer. I am a greedy fool when it comes to beauty like this!
