The Rufous Hummingbird, unlike a lot of other species, is covered in different shades of orange colours.
Both sexes have these orange feathers, but male’s feathers tend to be more vibrant. These birds are known for being very aggressive to other hummingbirds, both in and out of their species.
They are so aggressive that there are males that have been seen chasing females away from food sources, even during the middle of the mating season.
These birds do not form breeding pairs and are solitary throughout the year, males will mate with multiple females if they are able to.
They have only been seen in Georgia in the months outside of their breeding season.
These sightings have primarily been to the south and south east of the state, with a small handful of sightings being in the central state.
These birds are happy to use bird feeders and will visit your garden for any opportunity of a food source.
You should be warned though, they can and will often chase away other hummingbirds that may be wanting to visit your garden.
