  • Getting these critters crisply in mid flight is not as easy as it may seem like it should be.  I believe that this is a female Rufous Hummingbird.

  • Male Rufous hummingbird.  The gold neck feathers reflect red at more straight-on angles.  This species has a very long migration, making a clockwise circuit of Western North America each year.  They move up the Pacific Coast in late winter and spring, reaching Washington and British Columbia by May.  In early July they start south again, by way of the Rocky Mountains.  So, apparently, by the time they get to New Mexico, they have been en route back southward for a while.
  • Not sure whether this guy had sustained an injury to his left antler or it just grew that way from the beginning.
