Description

In mid-air, a flash of coppery brilliance caught my eye - a male Rufous Hummingbird in flight, its iridescent feathers glimmering in the sunlight. Captured in Coronado National Forest, this moment showcases the bird's remarkable agility and speed. As it darts between flowers, its rapid wingbeats fuel its high metabolism, allowing it to thrive in the forest's diverse ecosystem. A true marvel of nature, the Rufous Hummingbird's beauty and resilience inspire awe and remind us to protect and preserve their habitats for future generations to enjoy.
