Yessir. Rubies are the only ones I see here. What kind of Rufous is that in your last post? Great pic and very cool looking hummer!

Thanks. It is likely a true rufous, though they and the Allen's juveniles are hard to tell apart. This one was small and squat, had a somewhat short, flatter bill, and the appropriate feisty attitude. Rufous like to pick out a good spot near their favorite food source and then swoop down on any other hummers that try to sample the wares.
