Apparently the new sugar-water is better: they’re sticking around long enough I was able to get pictures. Despite the occasional bit of rain I saw probably half a dozen hummingbirds come through my yard in an hour or two this afternoon. All but one got to eat – it got chased off by a different hummingbird (I think it was a rufous since the picture looks about right and they’re supposed to be aggressive).
The light wasn’t great so I took this picture so the bird would be silhouetted against the brighter sky.
The bird is kind of hard to make out (left side of the feeder), but Dash sure was captivated for a bit.
Talore came over to see why Dash was making noises at the window. The bird is along the top edge of the fence left of the feeder.
