Rufous

 

 This little guy, a rufous hummingbird, has been hogging my feeder since I put it up on Wednesday. He chases off all the other one and has his set perches from which he maintains his guard. Unfortunately, he also chased off the male calliope hummer I saw the other morning - a first for me. They are a bit smaller then the rufous with purple streaks on their throat. Anyways, finally got around to taking some shots of him on some of his guard posts, they look good this size, ok at full. I will likely try again in better light.
