All hummer pics: 3 different Rufous females or young males
|
Dr. K, Willow and I did our usual hike this morning spending an inordinate amount of time on the short crossover trail between the left and right branch arroyos. That's where the late-blooming ocotillos have attracted Rufous Hummingbirds to the bright red flowers.
We were hoping the hummers would be there and they were: three young'uns who were engaged in a battle royale over the late season nectar. Of course when I refer to "late season" I'm talking about our summer which seems never to end. We were 98F yesterday and we'll be 95F today. El Paso hit 100F yesterday, the latest century mark day ever recorded there.
