I had not seen a Rufous in several days, and was concerned.

On Wednesday this fellow came through for me.

Great profile

All ruffled up

And the lovely iridescent colors of his gorget!

He's a beauty.

Tiny but mighty.

And a straight-on street fighter! 

Also saw the first female Rufous.

She is green and white and brown.

Onward spring!

  1. Mr. Rufous is a handsome one. He looks so fluffy in your pictures, Beth. Glad a female has made an appearance!

  2. The rufous showed up at our farm this week, too! I am going thru a quart a day right now. I count 4 nests in our yards and one in the holly tree down in the garden. Poor things are probably confused with all the colder than normal weather we're having.
