Rufus Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) Male Up Close And Personal

A constant source of silly grins on my face, the male Rufus' always come to investigate what this large thing (me) is. I never get tired of getting buzzed by them.

Photographed in Dixie, WA at the home of Tom "The Hummingbird Man" Lamb. Tom was featured on 'Northwest Backroads' a few years back. It had been a goal of mine to meet him someday. Done!
