A few more Rufous hummingbird shots

[Bill in Texas]

I have determined that this bird had been around since at least January and possibly December. It took its leave of me on Thursday after visiting a feeder briefly. Back to the Pacific NW I assume. It was quite a study watching and documenting, through photos, a first-year male hummingbird. I'll post one feeder shot which showed a more refined gorget.

Really nice colors and separation from the background.
