Rufous Hummingbird

Although I went to Madera Canyon specifically to photograph the Berylline Hummingbird, there were  other hummers present as well. The Rufous is always fun to watch and to photograph. They have such wonderful color and character. Every once in a while, one would fly right up in my face, as in the last photo. Maybe he wanted a closer look at me; maybe he was catching bugs that were buzzing around me.  Don't know, but I got some nice photos:
