Small and Feisty - Rufous Hummingbird in Templeton, California Canvas Print

Hovering near the bright pink pools of nectar deep within the wells of each little flower, this feisty Rufous Humminbird has an afternnoon meal. Always on the lookout for a rival looking to steal his bounty, Rufous Humminbirds will relentlessly attack even the largest of hummingbirds that dare enter its territory. During their long migrations, Rufous Hummingbirds make a 3,900-mile clockwise loop of western North America circling from Mexico up the Pacific Coast to Washington state and British Columbia, then south along the Rocky Mountains to return to Mexico.

I have been photographing the things I see for over thirty years. A resident of San Luis Obispo County, I'm lucky to have many excellent photo destinations within a few minutes' or hours' drive. Beyond the local area, I have traveled throughout California and the western United States, visited far away American destinations such as Chicago, New York, Florida, and Alaska, and international destinations in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. My photography varies from Architecture to Industrial Art to Nature to Wildlife and I'm sure you'll find something suitable for your home or office. Visit my blog
