Allen's Hummingbird (lifer)
Lifer #77 2020
This bird was recently banded and IDed. The home owner explained the difference between this and a Rufus is the width and length of it's tail feathers. The difference is just millimeters. The Allen's also has a small rufus patch on its back and the white tips are millimeters longer.
The little bird is very cooperative and visits the feeder every 10 minutes, like clockwork. I spent a lot of time there and got 100s of shots, feeder, no feeder, in flight and in trees. I liked this one the best, it shows the tail feathers, white tips and the rufus patch.
