I’ve been really fortunate to have a few hummingbirds hanging around lately. These guys spend the winter in places like Arizona, Texas, or Mexico, but during the summer come up into the northern part of the US and southern part of Canada. I’ve had two species of hummingbirds visit this week, a broad-tailed hummingbird and this rufous hummingbird. Rufous hummingbirds are known for being territorial and I actually saw this little guy chase off a significantly larger Canada jay and, a few minutes later, a red squirrel! I put in a lot of hours trying to get this little one on my sunflowers and was pretty thrilled when it happened.
