Selasphorus rufus

The Rufous Hummingbirds are about the only interesting ones to photograph lately. Here I tried to catch this male while he was hovering near the feeder. We have been hearing the wing whistle of Broad-tailed Hummingbirds flying around, but the Rufous keeps them away from the feeder. Black-chinned Hummingbird females will sometimes sneak onto the feeder when no one else is looking!
