More Hummingbirds

Today the population became integrated.

There were both Rufous and Anna’s zooming around the – now – two feeders.

I have always heard that the males show up early and leave early.

The fact that there are so many in these pictures says that putting out the feeders in March is a good idea.

I wouldn’t have thought they would be around so early in the year.

But they are.
