Hummingbirds

Rufous Hummingbird - Iona Island, BC Our summer hummingbird is a little rusty guy that shows up here in May hitting the feeders and first of the native flowers. I would say they time their arrival on the Salmonberry flower bloom here. Our year round residents breed well before the Rufous show so the displays are typically easy to distinguish by time of year.
