Name: Margaret Near Kamloops, BC, Canada (Zone 3a)
Yesterday I saw a Rufous doing his dive display, that is so amazing, he went up so high and then into the dive and straight back up again, he did that a couple of times.
Rufous male and female
This male had been at the feeder and looked like he was very wet, he sat all fluffed up with his tail feathers flaired, then he flew over by the evergreen tree and landed in the grass, I thought he was maybe injured or something, so I went out with camera in hand and got a few shots, when I got too close he flew into a shrub and started to preen so I guess he had taken a bath and was just sunning himself. I left him in peace to finish his grooming.
