Rufous Hummingbird 2 - Richmond Nature Park, BC
Our second most common hummingbird in these parts, the Rufous Hummingbird. One the first visitors of spring, this little bird flies from the gulf coast states and Mexico up to the Pacific Northwest with the northern range in Alaska. The first flower that blooms around the same time our friend shows up is the Salmonberry flower with the arrival of one, almost certainly means the arrival of the other.
