Last weekend we got our first hummingbird for the season, a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird. I believe that it may be the same one returning for the last four years or so. It looks like possibly the same bird because it used the same perches as previous years. As soon as I put up the hummingbird feeder it fed from it pretty quickly.

Yesterday while in the yard, I heard a Rufous Hummingbird calling. I tried to see it put had to leave and could not search for it. When I returned home I got a pretty good look at it. Today I saw it many times and got a photo.

I will post a photo of it to this post and then follow up with the Ruby-throated Hummingbird photo.
