Wings In Flight

Winter 2004/2005
Male Rufous Hummingbird
FO 9/26/04. This is the first Male Rufous I've had in the Garden. He attempted to go to the Mexican Bush sage in the front flower beds but Missy chased him off. He then found the other Mexican Bush sage in the back and has now visited this several times and chases away a Ruby throat that is also here.
