We have two species of hummers and they are very active at this time. Sometimes there are three or four chasing each other around. This is the male Rufous, they only stay for the summer.

Mother Nature certainly provides us with some really spectacular creatures doesn't she? Your hummer is a very handsome little chap with his striking colours.
