Rufous Hummingbird #1416

White Rock, NM

Selasphorus rufus

Maybe this will be the last Rufous Hummingbird picture for a while; I feel a bit guilty using them so often. I have enjoyed our hummingbirds this year, and I can tell they are preparing to head south for the winter. I liked this picture because I was able to get the bird hovering when there was enough light to freeze the wings a bit more than usual.
