A New Hummingbird From Washington
A New Hummingbird From Washington, Well I finally photographed a new hummingbird. I have only ever seen one species of hummingbird and that is the Ruby Throated. We just happened across another nature preserve in Washington when we were there and found two new birds, no 3 new ones, including this hummingbird. Bird count is 152.
One of the feistiest hummingbird in North America. The brilliant orange male and the green-and-orange female Rufous Hummingbird are relentless attackers at flowers and feeders, going after (if not always defeating) even the large hummingbirds of the Southwest, which can be double their weight.
Rufous Hummingbirds are wide-ranging, and breed farther north than any other hummingbird. Look for them in spring in California, summer in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, and fall in the Rocky Mountains as they make their annual circuit of the West.

I like the iridescent sparkles which look almost like sequins – what little beauties they are!
Yes, the sunlight on them really makes them shine 🙂
They really look like sequins. 🙂
Do not have that Hummer! Added a bunch of new ones thanks to our Vegas trips, but that one continues to elude me – nice shots.
Thank you, I sure was hoping to see a different hummer this trip and right at the last moment this one flew in. It was a surprise. 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous.
