This tiny bird (8cms or 3 inches), a male rufous hummingbird, is eager to beautify himself for “the ladies” of his world. He is a prolific “lover”, who enjoys mating with multiple partners. In this image, he is preening his feathers. Captured in the Vancouver area with a Nikon D300, Nikkor f4 600 mm lens, 1.4 teleconverter, ISO 400, f7.1, 1/1600s.

Featured in Canon DSLR – May 31, 2009 / Featured in I Love Birds – May 27, 2009 The Ruby-throated Hummingbird Archilochus colubris is the most common and widely distributed of the hummingbirds in Canada. From the tip of its bill to the tip of its tail it measures from 7.5 cm to slightly more than 9 cm. No larger than a good-sized insect, it is often confused with hawk moths, especially at dusk, as these moths are similar in size, form, and flight. The male Ruby-throated Hummingbird is shiny metallic green above, greyish white below, and has a forked tail. He wears a splendid gorget, or throat patch, of silky, ruby red feathers, which sometimes appear orange, or even jet black, depending on the light. The female is similar but has a greyish-white throat patch. Her tail is rounded, and some of the outer tail feathers are marked with white spots. These she often displays when posturing and in flight. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird’s bill is long, straight, and almost as slender as a darning needle. / Canada has five species of hummingbirds. Of these, only the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is found in the east. It inhabits Nova Scotia (including Cape Breton Island), New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, southern Quebec, and Ontario north to Lake Nipigon and Lake of the Woods. It ranges westward through southern Manitoba, central Saskatchewan, and central and southeastern Alberta. / Lots more interesting information here: / / / Photographed at the Oriole feeder in my yard / Canon 50D; Sigma 150-500mm lens / Shutter speed 1/2048 / Lens Aperture F/6.4 / Focal length 500mm / Exposure time 1/2000 / ISO 640

Featured in Top Shelf Wildlife & Nature Art August 1, 2009. I have spent countless hours the past 3 summers trying to capture photographs of the ruby-throated hummingbirds that visit my property each year. This particular image is one of my favorites. I loved the way this female (whom I call Ruby) was perched on this branch, with both wings spread, looking down at the ant approaching her little foot. / —-—-—-—-—-—-——- / Camera & Location Details / Canon EOS Rebel XTi with 100-400mm (at 310mm) f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. SS 1/800, AP Mode, f/8.0 ISO 200. Photo taken on my property in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada / Flat Black Frame & Bright White Matting / / Ruby-Throated Hummingbird info. courtesy of Wikipedia / The Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), is a small hummingbird. It is the only species of hummingbird that regularly nests east of the Mississippi River in North America. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are solitary. Adults of this species typically only come into contact for the purpose of mating, and both males and females of any age aggressively defend feeding locations within their territory. The aggressiveness becomes most pronounced in late summer to early fall as they fatten up for migration. This is important because, as part of their migration, they fly non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of at least 500 miles. They feed frequently while active during the day and when temperatures drop, particularly on cold nights, they may conserve energy by entering hypothermic torpor. Due to their small size, they are vulnerable to insect-eating birds and animals. Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, blade-like wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects. During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/s, 61x/s when moving backwards, and at least 75x/s when moving forward. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—- / Bird Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST
