Rufous Hummingbird

The restaurant at Mt. Lemmon had many feeders out. And the ferocious Rufous was tormenting the little black chins.

The Rufous hummer is know for his aggressive activity at the feeders.

They migrate down the Rocky Mountain range to their winter vacation in Mexico. Every August
they come in a flurry, causing havoc. And by the end of the month are on their way.

Taking decent photos of them, especially in flight, is difficult for even the best of photographers.
