Totally agree, Larry, about the energy of the Rufous Hummingbird. And its fighting spirit! The Rufous will tackle any interloper to the feeder, bigger or smaller (whether Black-chinned or Calliope). As the day has wore on, there’s less activity at the feeder with most visits now being Black-chinned. Will see as evening approaches which Hummers are still here. I would guess, for a while, there were at least 15 different individuals early AM.
