Male Rufous Hummingbird
2:59 PM. As I was photographing the Tree Swallows I heard the unmistakable buzz of an attacking hummingbird. It is not uncommon to get buzzed by the males along this stretch of trail, but it is quite difficult to get any kind of a photograph. This guy perched on a branch over my head for several minutes.
These photographs don't do him justice. When the sun catches his feathers he lights up like he was hit with a red laser. The sun never really caught his feathers, but I was still pleased.
