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.
