Rufous Hummingbird

The hummers have been very active the past few weeks.  Usually it's a male Broad-tailed that claims the feeder and chases all the others away.  But a few days ago I noticed a male Rufous had arrived and taken over.  I took hundreds of shots before I finally got this one of him actually sitting still.  I've never seen a Rufous here in July.  They do migrate through but usually not until fall.

Backblipped on 8/7/18.
