A Rufous hummingbird sits upon a branch. The white chest is puffed out and its orange head catches a bit of light.

A Rufous hummingbird is hovering in front of a wood fence near a green shrub. Its wings are nearly invisible, its bright orange throat shines brightly above its white chest and brown tail.

A Rufous hummingbird sits on a small branch beside a blue, glass hummingbird feeder, guarding it from other hummers. Its colors are on full display, with a dark brown head and tail, a bright orange throat, and a puffy white chest.

Heard then spotted a Rufous hummingbird by one of our feeders! Their wings make a very distinct sound. Migratory to our area, making their way from overwintering in Mexico to the breeding grounds in Alaska. Long haul for these lil guys! #Rufous #hummingbird #backyardbirds #birdwatching #migratory

The more visits the better…. I’m going to replace the nectar to ensure maximum tastiness…. I’d love to have these guys hang around for the summer! 😍 🪶

See this little stinker? I put a feeder under the patio for the storm and he is sitting on a rose bush guarding it.

Definitely a #rufous. Not so sure of #2 above.

Yes. Love having #hummingbirds all-year round. And those feisty little #rufous are beautiful , especially that tail spread

#Rufous #hummingbirds, one of my favorite birds doing what I call a "challenge column duel". Probably the species I spend the most time with - several hours every day💚🧡

Loved the yellow daisies on the background on this one. The determined face on this young rufous was also fun to see. 09/2025 #rufous #hummingbird #ilovebirding #birding #birds #FDT #Colorado #bird_photography 🪶

"Forest Dwellers" - Motmots are interesting birds with their racquet-like tailfeathers and this Rufous motmot is no different standing out, even in the dark forest. Cerro Azul, #Panama

A Rufous Hummingbird stands on a small branch with its wings outstretched behind it, blurred by the motion of their movement. The background is brown and green, indicating a summer scene.

#Winged #Wildlife -- a #Rufous #Hummingbird alights on a small branch. I haven't seen any lately, so I think they have continued their #southward #migration. #Bittersweet.🥹💔

Fall migration is on and the hummingbirds are swarming our feeders. Total joyful chaos!

Rufous hummingbird vigilantly watching the skies from a perch in an aspen tree

Well, I thought the house had finally found a modicum of peace with the couple adult male rufous having moved on. Boy was I wrong... I now have a juvenile male and his mother(?) terrorizing and dominating...

A Rufous Hummingbird perches on a gnarled, dead tree branch. The feathers on its bright orange-red gorget (throat) glow iridescently, despite the overcast environment.

#Rufous #Hummingbirds seem to ✨ #shimmer, even when at rest!

NOT MY PHOTO! This amazing creature is a #Rufous #Hummingbird We have one in our yard this summer, and as is their habit, he's intent on keeping the other hummers away. He is every bit as bright as the picture shows, looking like a flame flying around the yard.

A Rufous hummingbird is captured in flight in front of a background of orange flowers and lush green vegetation. It gorget (throat) feathers are glowing iridescent red-orange in a vibrant display. Its wings are slightly blurred with the motion of its flight and it is looking towards the viewer with its left eye.

A #humdinger of a #hummingbird, the #Rufous stops by on its southward #migration for about six weeks in July - August.
