Rufous Hummingbird #6219

White Rock, NM

Selasphorus rufus

Here's a different bird -- Rufous Hummingbirds migrate through New Mexico in the middle to late summer, and I have seen several over the last ten days or so. They are very easy to pick out from a distance, appearing almost completely orange when hovering. This one caught the corner of my eye while I was looking over into a dark bush, so the photo is quite blurry and highly cropped, but there's enough detail left that you can see generally what the bird looks like here, as he takes off from the feeder.
