[obol] sounds of a Rufus Hummingbird

[Larry Cottrell]

 While we lived in Klamath Falls we had numerous RUHU in the summer. The sounds from them are very different from the ANHU. We joking said the bird sounded like a Volkswagen needing a valve job. When they came down the deck you automatically ducked. 

We have a couple of female NOHA. working the creek by the house. They showed up after we did the Raptor count. Our snow has melted so the passerine's have moved away from the house to forage.

Merry Christmas and a safe New Year to all.
