In the past week or so, the number of hummers I have has declined.
I think many of the Rufous Hummingbirds have begun their southern migration.
Thankfully, I still have Anna's Hummingbirds...
...like this lovely lady...
...and this handsome gentleman.
I'm very pleased to have a mature male back at the feeders.
See how his entire head and throat are pinky/red?
Now compare with this juvenile male Anna's. He is just beginning to get some color.
There is at least one young Rufous still in the area.
I believe this might be a juvenile male.
I think there is just a touch of color forming on the throat.
And this is a female Rufous - so two birds still.
Ya' got an itch? Then scratch it!
