Rufous Hummingbird

What do you do with a sick boat?

Take it to the doc.

Interesting Fact: The Rufous Hummingbird has an excellent memory for location, no doubt helping it find flowers from day to day, or even year to year. Some birds have been seen returning from migration and investigating where a feeder had been the previous year, even though it had since been moved.

    My favorite bird – have 30 of them come back every year. Well not sure if it’s the same ones – I like to think so as they hover around my head as if to greet me.

    Loving your site! I like the photo/learning moment theme you’ve got going on. I was particularly drawn to this photo. I love watching kamikaze hummingbirds around the feeders and hearing their little squeaky voices. And I like how you got the pointy beak perfectly highlighted against the light sky. Nice portrait!
