Rufous Hummingbird

Male Rufous hummingbird taken with my camera phone, about 24" away.

This morning I brought the feeder in for cleaning and fresh food. Several of them came at the same time looking for it, hovering, chirping, wondering where it went. A few minutes later I took it back out and they followed me, chirping in my face and when I stopped, the bolder female perched for a drink as I held the feeder. Two males started fighting and they would only hover as they drank.
