May 22 - Return of the Rufous Hummingbirds

After missing these birds last year, they are back. It may have been our trip to Italy in March/April 2019 and the resulting empty feeders that caused them to be absent. This year a a pair have come to our feeder.

The Anna's had temporarily disappeared, but have re-established their presence since I composed this post.

Here's photos and videos of both a male and female Rufous Hummingbird.

On this day a male Anna's Hummingbird was seen at the feeder. I assume this is the male from the pair that have been here all winter.
