Rufous Hummingbird spending some cold-weather time in Louisville

17 years ago

Darbygirl51@aol.com, a member of this forum, sent me an e-mail telling about a hummingbird that arrived around Thanksgiving and as of December 16th is still visiting her yard daily. Since hummingbird photography is my favorite hobby, I went to visit the next day and have been getting some videos/photos of the female rufous. This is my first experience with a hummingbird during the winter months and it has been very rewarding.

I just joined this forum and plan to post photos later.

I invite you to visit my website that has many photos of ruby-throat hummingbirds - http://e-hummingbirds.com

Here is a link that might be useful: Enjoyable Hummingbirds
