Rufous

When not traipsing around Yellowstone, the past few weeks have seen my trying, mostly unsuccessfully, to photograph a couple of hummingbirds that show up occasionally in the backyard. This one, a male Rufous Hummingbird, is certainly the most colorful. It’s been unbelievably hot since June and these guys usually come around when it cools down in the evening. In August, I’ll hopefully have more hummingbird visitors as they usually pass through as they start going south.
