The Rufous Hummingbird is a feisty little bird that will chase all other hummingbirds away from a food source that it is eating at. It stays in the Northwestern parts of the United States during the Summer, migrates through the Midwestern area of the United States, arriving in the Southwestern part for Winter and then going back and forth again every year. Occasionally, Rufous Hummingbirds will fly on over to the Eastern United States in search of more Hummingbird Feeders, being that they are one of the most cold-tolerant and hardy species of Hummingbirds. If you want to learn more about the Rufous Hummingbird, check out the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's description of it: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Rufous_Hummingbird/id Here are some Rufous Hummingbird photos: Would you like to be featured on our blog?
