The first wave is adult males, the second is the females and soon after is the young. The RUFOUS has the longest migration path of any of the HUMMINGBIRDS in North America. The dive display is similar to that of the ANNA’S Hummingbird, The flight path is an oval with sounds at the bottom of the display. Of course nectar and small insects are also in their diet. The hummers will eat the sap and protect the food source from other hummers. Like other western HUMMINGBIRDS, the rufous will build nests year after year right over the previous nest.Īn interesting note about this hummingbird: The RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD has been seen defending trees that Sapsuckers have made holes in, collecting sap. They most likely build to minimize the effect of the environment. Low in the spring and high in the summer months. During courtship, a male rufous dives in a J-shaped or steep oval pattern when a female enters his. Females and juveniles of both species are essentially identical. As a general rule of thumb, if the male’s back is more orange than green, it’s a rufous. The females of this hummingbird species will build their nest at different heights depending on the season. The Allen’s hummingbird, another species of the West, is often confused for the rufous. The female and young are almost impossible to identify unless you are an experienced bird watcher. The male has rufous or reddish brown colored sides, tail and back side. Ranging from Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana to Alaska’s southern coastline. The RUFOUS HUMMINGBIRD breeds in the North West.
