Description
The Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) is a small hummingbird, about 3 inches in length with a long, straight and very slender bill. They use their bills to feed mainly on plant nectar but will also eat small insects. These birds are known for their incredible flight skills. Some will fly 2,000 miles between their breeding ground and their winter home. Not known to rest for very long, this female was photographed while perched on a branch in Edgewood, Washington State, USA.
