Rufous

The Rufous hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) has the longest migration route in the family of hummingbirds and is found from Alaska south through British Columbia, down the coast and winters mainly in Mexico. Their natural habitat is in mountain meadows and forest edges. During their journey south, they frequent gardens with hummingbird feeders. Male hummingbirds are known to be territorial, but with this species, both the male and female defend their territory.
