Rufous Hummingbird feeding on a large red Hibiscus-Photographed in Cedar City, Utah
Described as one of the feistiest hummingbirds in North America, the rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) is well-known for its aggressive defence of flowers and feeders, even against species many times its own size. It is a relatively small and compact species, with short wings, a tail that tapers to a point, and a slender, straight, black bill.
The adult male has a white breast, rufous face, flanks and tail and an iridescent orange-red throat patch or gorget. Some males have some green on back and/or crown. The female has green, white, some iridescent orange feathers in the center of the throat, and a dark tail with white tips and rufous base.
The rufous hummingbird breeds further north than any other hummingbird species, with its breeding range extending from southeast Alaska, through southwest Canada and into the northwest United States, as far south as northwest California. It also undertakes one of the longest migrations of any bird in relation to its body size, traveling south to spend the winter from southern California and the Gulf Coast of the USA, south to Mexico.
