Description
A female Rufous Hummingbird in perfect side profile, photographed in the gardens of Neskowin on the Oregon coast. Where the male is a blaze of burnt orange, the female dresses with more subtlety — an iridescent green back, warm rufous washing along the flanks, and a delicately freckled throat. Don’t mistake the quieter plumage for a quieter bird: female Rufous defend their flower patches with every bit of the species’ famous fire.
It earns the attitude. Rufous Hummingbirds make one of the longest migrations, for its size, of any bird on Earth — up to nearly 4,000 miles between Mexico and Alaska — and the little villages of the Oregon coast, with their planted gardens, are fueling stations on that enormous journey. This female paused in Neskowin long enough to pose.
