grand entrance
The sudden appearance of this brillantly colored male Rufous Hummingbird at the feeder left no one guessing who was the boss! The shorter days have signaled the southern movement of the Rufous and the activity has gotten lighter each day. At this point, there are fewer Rufous than there are feeders in our yard yet they still manage to squabble and chase! We'll miss their feisty antics and look forward to their return again in the spring.
