Female Rufous Hummingbird feeding on a horsemint flower. I was standing in a meadow (Hummingbird Meadow) near Crater Lake Oregon and to get this and other hummingbird shots I had to stand very still with the camera at about eye level for several hours. I could not use a tipod due to their speed and movement. / They would not come near me for about an half an hour then they where all around me and I could shoot but not move to much. / At the end of the day my arms felt like I had been working out from holding the canon 20d and 100-400 IS lens.

These guys just arrived at my hummingbird feeders. They are feisty little hummers and very territorial. They love to guard the feeder and will chase everyone else off. I love their colors, so bright and cheerful. They only stay with me until Fall then they are off to warmer climates! Taken in Shady Cove, Oregon Physical Description / Average weight: male 3.22 g, female 3.41 g. Females are larger than males. Plumage / Adult male: Non-iridescent rufous crown, tail, and sides; back may be rufous, green , or some of each; bright orange-red gorget, white breast. Green-backed Rufous cannot be reliably separated from Allen’s in the field without extensive experience and a good view of the spread tailfeathers through a scope. / Adult female: Green back and crown, white breast, streaked throat, rufous sides and base of tail feathers, white tips on outer tail feathers. Very similar to female Allen’s and Broad-tailed. Distribution / Observed in every state and province except Hawaii, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. There was even one very unusual report from extreme eastern Siberia! The Rufous is the most widely-distributed hummingbird in North America. Winters in Mexico and possibly Panama.

Taken with a Canon 50D, Canon 100 – 400 L series lens @ 400mm, F4.5, shutter speed 1/800 second ISO200, edited in Photoshop These two birds are rufous treepie’s, the shot was taken in Ranthambore National park India. The Rufous Treepie (Dendrocitta vagabunda) is an Asian treepie, a member of the Corvidae (crow) family. It is slightly smaller than the European Magpie (Pica pica) and has somewhat shorter, more rounded wings and a proportionately longer tail This is a typically arboreal species feeding almost completely in trees on fruits, invertebrates, small reptiles and the eggs and young of birds; it has also been known to take flesh from recently killed carcasses. It is extremely agile while searching for food, clinging and clambering through the branches and will sometimes travel in small mixed hunting parties with unrelated species such as drongos and babblers.

This male was very difficult to photograph because he was very shy and wary, unlike his more co-operative mate. Males are all alike! The male rufous is so colorful, but even this image does not capture that. This little bird is only 5 centimetres in length. Please read the text accompanying the photo of the female for full description. Captured on Vancouver Island, Canada, with a Nikon D300, Nikkor f4 600 mm lens, 1:4 Nikon teleconverter, ISO 400, f7.1, 1/1250.

Nankeen Night Heron taken at Melbourne Zoo, Australia. / The Nankeen Night Heron, Nycticorax caledonicus, also commonly referred to as the Rufous Night Heron, and in Melanesia as Melabaob, is a medium-sized heron. It is found throughout much of Australia except the arid inland, Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and Melanesia. The Nankeen Night Heron stands about 60cm tall. It is not strictly nocturnal. It often feeds during the day, especially during wet weather. The bird is dependent on a diet of small fish, reptiles, insects and sometimes eggs. It can be seen around freshwater rivers, lakes, bulrushes, estuaries, harbours and in residential fishponds for goldfish. The species breeds in the period from September to April, building a nest platform out of sticks. It nests communally, near water. Two to five light green eggs are laid, with a 22-day incubation followed by a 42-49 day fledging period. / Widespread throughout its large range, the Nankeen Night Heron is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

At Melbourne Zoo Australia The Nankeen or Rufous Night-Heron is a mainly nocturnal heron that roosts during the day. It is a stocky heron with a large head, short neck and thick, quite long yellow legs. / They feed mainly on fish, amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans, insects and other invertebrates. / Their bills have finely serrated edges that help grip slippery, active prey. They feed by plunging their bills forward while wading, standing still or shuffling a foot ahead to disturb prey. Having long legs and a flexible neck helps them feed in water. Nikon D300 lens: Nikkor 80-400mm / 400mm, 1/125s, f/5.6, ISO: 800

Ok getting this shot was difficult. This Rufous Hummer was so fast that I would get the hummer in great, but no Lily, then I would get the lily but the hummer was already gone. So I took the best of each and using apply image in photoshop and blending modes, I put them together. All of this was taken through my kitchen window and yes I already had my coffee and I still wasn’t quick enough! Thanks for viewing and commenting! Image taken in Shady Cove, Oregon

Female Rufous Hummingbirds have returned with their babies to guzzle at the feeders after a quiet month of nesting… / Usually there are about 12 at each of my three feeders (which I fill at least twice daily).. / I got a kick out of how these little ladies lined up so politely.
