The Rufus hummingbirds arrived back on March 30th this year... round about the same time as the previous years, almost like clockwork. We have two species around our place, and the other is the Annas hummingbirds which stay year round on Bowen even through the cold and snow. We have so many of these precious little Rufus hummers in the spring and summer that they are almost a hazard.. it is like being in the midst of a star wars battle at times. Of course the Rufus and the Annas don;t get along much either. I have a feeder out front which the Rufus use, and one out back for the Annas. Here are 2 pictures of the Rufus hummers taken by my friend Kelli on April 29th out on our front patio in the sun. The 3rd picture was taken over the winter, and is an Annas hummer at the back kitchen window feeder. You can click on them to enlarge.
