Male Rufous Hummingbird

Southern Vancouver Island

They shine like brilliant jewels and I am constantly amazed by them. Despite their hight energy level they do stop for a momentary rest and if everything goes just right the rest can turn into a great photo op! Rufous Hummingbird facts: They have the hummingbird gift for fast, darting flight and pinpoint maneuverability. They are pugnacious, extremely territorial, birds and they tirelessly chase away other hummingbirds, even in places they’re only visiting on migration. ~ All About Birds
