Here’s a profile shot of a female Rufous Hummingbird in the backyard. These active little birds are so much fun to watch!

Beautiful bird, Shawn…
We seem to have fewer humming birds here this year… maybe due to the cold and wet summer of 2009. We have identified one male and four females … but just a fraction of what we’d been used to.
Swap hugs with your wonderful family… Love, ‘Pa’ >
