Saw a rufous hummingbird last week for 5 days but he is gone now. First time I have ever seen a rufous. It was beautiful and if you see one check to note that the migration route is on the western coast so I believe this is a very special sighting for me. There are some great little books by A Heidecamp. About hummingbirds, one about a rufous that came to her on the east coast and wintered over on her sun porch. You might enjoy reading it. That is how I identified this hummingbird right away was from the pictures. If any of you have seen a rufous out of its normal migration I hope you post your sighting.
