ruby-and

“Sapphire- and ruby-and emerald-colored bits of glass flashed like jewels in the sunlight.”

Simon & Schuster: Enchanted Ivy

“March usually gives us the hermit thrush and the ruby-and golden-crowned kinglets; the song, field, fox, white throated, Savannah and Lincoln sparrows; the meadow lark, the bronzed grackle and the cowbird; the red-winged, the yellow-head and the rusty blackbirds; the wood pewee and the olive-sided flycatcher; the flicker and the sap-sucker, the mourning dove and several of the water fowl.”
