Looks like the fall Rufous Hummingbird Migration is in full force through SE Idaho right now. The past two days, I’ve had numerous male, female & juvenile Rufous hitting the nectar feeders. And some epic mid-air chases & face-to-face battles with my resident Black-chinneds.

There is one male Black-chinned that tries to dominate one feeder starting about 6:30 every AM. He makes a good show of it for about 45 minutes, until he’s simply overwhelmed by numbers. A fun show!
