#rubythroatedhummingbird — Public Fediverse posts

Will be on hummingbirds for a while. They are a fascinating, specialized family of birds (Family Trochiidae) with 15 species in North America and 363! species overall in the Americas and Caribbean - many with very narrow ranges. 112 overall genera, again, many highly restricted, and a huge range in size from the Bee Hummingbird - the smallest bird in the world weighing in at 2 grams, to the largest the Giant Hummingbird of Patagonia, weighing in at up to 22 grams.

The US is dominated by 2 species - Ruby-throated in the east and Black-Chinned in the West and SW. Both are in the Genus Archilochus.

I have always been fascinated with them from the long ago till now - they bring joy; and the study necessary to understand them keeps me away from the news.

I have been struggling to fins some equilibrium after this horrific outflow of racism, and hate from #SKKKOTUS and the southern states. There is no place for racism in my life, in society, in science or in government. Those trying to revert back to Jim Crow are mentally ill, but cannot recognize their illness or the harm they are causing.

Since Hummingbird season is in full 'flight', I have been working on photos of hummingbirds for a few days, along with reviewing photos of happy places.

Gossamer Guardian

This is a female ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), although, rufus humming bird is a possibility as well. But I know I know that there is a male ruby-throated hummingbird around and it being spring and all, well ...

Iridescent Grace

My dog, Charlie, and I were sitting on the porch of my wife’s shop a few years ago when I noticed a little male ruby‑throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris).

Ruby on a Branch

I haven’t seen any hummingbirds yet this season, but I expect they’ll be along soon. I’ve already put out my first feeder to welcome them. Here’s an image of a ruby‑throated hummingbird I captured in a previous year.

I am very bad about taking photos and never looking at them. Like terrible.

Poking around my insane library looking for last-minute additions to my presentation for tonight and I stumbled upon this cutie from March 2021- South Padre Island.

It's disgustingly cold. I'm SO READY for the solstice.

Pause Between Wings

Here’s a ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) from a few weeks ago. By now, I believe they’ve all headed farther south—perhaps even ventured out over the Gulf of Mexico, crossing open water in a sovereign act of instinct and endurance.

His Majesty

Here’s a regal-looking Ruby-Throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), perched with quiet authority. The iridescent red throat gleams like a royal seal, and the posture—alert, composed, slightly angled—suggests a sovereign surveying his branch-bound domain.

My photo gallery features over 1300 carefully selected images. While most are chosen for their visual appeal, a few stand out as novelty shots. Feel free to explore my gallery at:

Peaceful Moment

Sometimes the light falls just right. This female ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) appears to pause—if only for a heartbeat—to bask in the sun’s warmth. Of course, it’s likely less a pause than a fleeting moment; these tiny marvels are rarely still for long. While I often photograph hummingbirds near my feeders, I especially treasure chances like this—when I can capture them in more natural surroundings. I took this particular shot some time ago. In addition to sipping nectar, ruby-throated hummingbirds also hunt small insects, adding a dash of protein to their delicate diets.

Sunlit Serenity

Here’s an image of a ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) I spotted this morning. Based on the dark speckles beneath his chin, I believe he’s a juvenile male. The signature emerald coloring isn’t visible here—likely because the lighting wasn’t angled quite right to catch its iridescence.

Hummingbird Among Pink Blossoms

It felt like a moment worth capturing. This morning, as Charlie and I sat outside, a tiny ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) darted among the crepe myrtle blossoms—its movements quick and deliberate, like a living spark weaving through pink petals.

Hushed Beauty

This is most likely a female ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris), though there’s a slight chance it could be a black-chinned hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri). Given that ruby-throated hummingbirds dominate this region, that seems the most reasonable identification. Still, I’d love for it to be a black-chinned, as they’re quite rare around here. The absence of vibrant emerald feathers is likely due to the lighting, which has softened the usual iridescence of its plumage.
