Hummingbirds of the Sonoran Desert

A separate post for these fun little birds! We only have one hummingbird, the Ruby Throated that frequents North Carolina with any regularity (Rufous are sighted from time to time in migration, but they don't usually linger) so I knew I'd be in for a treat with these hummers local to the Sonoran Desert in Tucson. They like the mountains and parks and backyard feeders so there are lots of chances to spot one.
