First Rufous of the year, that is 🙂

I spotted my first Rufous Hummingbird this morning up Military Reserve on Cottonwood Creek. Gorgeous view of a male resting on a bare branch of an old willow. 3 species there so far this spring: Rufous, Black-chinned, and Calliope, as well as the usual Yellow-breasted Chats, Lazuli Buntings, Willow, Western and Dusky Flycatchers and Black-headed Grosbeaks. Life is good.
