Rufous Hummingbird



A "different" sounding hummingbird wing-trill drew my eyes and ears over to my hummingbird feeders in Ogden this morning, and there in all his rusty glory was a compact-looking male Rufous Hummingbird.  He flitted around two feeders that haven't had nearly enough attention or fresh nectar in a few days, flashed that red gorget at me and he was gone.  I quickly mixed up a batch of Kris's home brew, washed and refilled the feeders, and waited for his return.  But alas, I didn't see him again.  That's my penalty for letting the feeders go too long.  Moral of the story:  Fill 'em up!
