Rufous Hummingbird

Rufous Hummingbird
I was sitting on the back porch a few days ago watching the aerial acrobatics of the Hummingbirds as they came to our feeders when this female Rufous Hummingbird decided to check me out and see what I was. She hovered around my head sometimes as close as six inches and was not at all frightened when I picked up my camera and started photographing her.

We have three species of Humming birds coming to our feeders and the other flowers on the porch, Caliope, Rufous and Black-chinned, and all three, males and females, will come to the feeders even when we are nearby. Sometimes the buzz of their flight startles us when we are not watching for them and they fly close to our heads, but they are a constant delight.

*standing ovation* WOOOOOT!!! AWESOME SHOTS, RON!!! How fabulous!!! I love them all, what a lucky occasion that you are also able to share with us. :)

Been thinking about you all the time, esp while we drove through Washington and headed over to Vancouver Island! We're doing great, having lots of fun and seeing so much! In fact, I took a picture of what I think might have been an orchid...will post at some point after we get back.

Our days are so full I have very little time to do anything more than eat and go to sleep, heh. Trying to write when I can, it's tough though! Anyway, wanted to say HI HI HI!! :) *BIG HUGS*

Amazing. I've heard that these little birds can be quite aggressive and fearless.

They are indeed! They will chase away larger birds and one of them was terrorizing all the birds that were coming to the seed feeders today even though they do not eat seeds.
