FOS rufous hummingbird, Douglas County

[John Ealy]

Our first rufous hummingbird, an adult female, perched and fed (even preened) for about 10 minutes on a nectar feeder beginning about 2:20 p.m. this rain-dominant Tuesday. We now have four adult broad-tail hummingbirds -- 3 males, 1 female. Still hanging around: two dark-eyed juncos, both Oregon, sharing backyard territory with  lazuli buntings, (5, including one female) and several white-crowned sparrows, among others.
