While working in the yard, I heard the zipping of a male Rufous Hummingbird. I was unable to locate the bird until he flew to the hummingbird feeder for a drink of sugar water. The setting sun high lighted his flaming gorget sending flashes of crimson and orange like SOS signals to us. He remained through the next day, but has since commenced his journey of migration. We anxiously await the next arrival.
