OMG! Just had to tell someone . . . I'm so excited because I just saw a Rufous Hummingbird here in Southern NJ!! Normally, east of the Mississippi, only Ruby -Throated Hummingbirds are seen. He looked just like this little guy I found on Wikimedia Commons! Some other unusual looking ones are zooming around here today but I haven't gotten a chance to get a close-up look at any. They really are a bunch of wild ones!! They are not coming to my feeders or plants very much but I can see and hear them in the trees, bushes, flowers and on the edge of the woods. It's obvious that they are gorging themselves on tiny bugs! I hope they eat mosquitos!
Fabulous! Congrats on the sighting. Maybe you will get to i.d. the others. I would be so excited myself!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! You are so lucky. What a great shot too!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Sandy! He does look well fed - I hope his tummy is full of mosquitoes!!
