We have had lots of rufous hummingbirds visiting the hanging flowers on our deck.

They are very difficult to capture and moving quickly with the camera is necessary, but sometimes you can get a decent capture.

Unlike the Anna’s hummingbirds that over-winter in British Columbia, the rufous hummingbirds head to Mexico when it gets cooler. It’s amazing that these tiny birds so successfully make the trip, sometimes multiple times according to the band tracking. They are definitely little toughies.

Happy Hummer Friday.
