The hummingbirds returned this week, almost to the day as the same time last summer. The first one we noticed buzzing around our flowers was a male rufous hummingbird, possibly this one. I’ve seen two males and at least one female or immature hummingbird so far. If previous summers are an indicator, many more should start arriving soon. These birds are tough to photograph given their size as one of the smallest birds in North America and the fact they are rarely still when in flight. But it feels very rewarding when I’m able to get a few decent photos.
