Another Visit From Rudy Rufous

This is my second (decent) capture of the elusive Rufous hummingbird who is passing through my backyard  as he heads a little further south from his long migration.  Rufous are one of the smaller hummers but just about the meanest.  He even chases Zippy away and Zippy is a terror!

 At a length of 7-9 cm and a mass of 2-5 g , he's about the same size as the Zipster (a Costa's hummingbird).  Hope you like this guy.  He's really special!!!  Thanks to Debbi for hosting this 200th Tiny Tuesday!
PS  I think he looks amazing in large.

I love  teacher jokes:
Four high school boys afflicted with spring fever skipped their morning classes. After lunch they reported to their teacher that they had a flat tire.

Much to their relief she smiled and said, "Well, you missed a pop quiz today so take seats apart from one another and take out a piece of paper."  Still smiling she waited them to sit down.  Then she asked, "First question: Which tire was flat?"
