Rufous Hummingbird



Dear Blue Ridge Birders and carolinabirds:

In the swarm of hummingbirds around the feeder this evening there appeared
an unmistakable adult male Rufous Hummingbird. Bright coppery-red back,
reddish belly, irridescent red gorget, close range, excellent light.
Aggressive little bastard, holding off 7 or 8 Ruby-Throats at a time.

Lifer for me, and a nice yard bird.
