The male Rufous is certainly the most aggressive of the hummingbirds we have in our part of the world. This male chased nearly every other hummer off of my flower this morning, but did at least give me a cool frame with an unexpected pose.
Hope you aren’t getting tired of my hummingbird images. I’m sure I’ll be out shooting them for another month or so.

I really like the position he is in, and the details you were able to capture in his feathers, Keith. Wonderful colors.
Love this shot! The male Rufous is way up at the top of my list of local hummers to shoot. Unfortunately they only are seen here brief couple of times a year… passing thru. Their very cool colors and magnificent tail feathers are quite the ticket and you nailed all that along with the nice flower. Well done!
A very cool himmingbird image, Keith. I love the flared tail and the angle. Maybe a touch more room at the top?
