Continuing with my alphabetical series of my ""5" Star Photos we get to the Rufous Hummingbird. which is the most aggressive hummingbird in the US. They are relentless defenders of flowers and feeders that they have staked out for themselves. I've watched in Portal a male Rufous spend nearly 100% of its time chasing away other hummers -- almost never with an opportunity to feed himself. The Rufous is a little more widespread than most other hummers as it is found throughout much of the western US and Canada.
