Sunday's Hummers

Five years ago (March 2020).

See him perched on a blackberry vine?

Friday was the first day I had a good, prolonged look at a returning male Rufous Hummingbird.

As you can see, he looks very different from the Anna's...

all brown and glinting copper. 

The feathers on his gorget are all flared out.

Welcome back sir!
