Monica, lay down in front of the a\c and cool off then check out this little beauty and see if it looks like your bird... Male Rufous Hummingbird. I bet with the sun shining on him, he would look very orange.

I was thinking that too, Rufous Hummingbirds generally are found out west, right?

Rufous Hummingbirds ARE western birds. However, a few Rufous Hummingbirds spend the Winter in the Eastern U.S. It's important to keep your hummer feeder out and filled all Winter. I haven't heard of a Rufopus being here this time of year but it is entirely possible. Try to get a picture of it, Monica, and I'll let you know. I HAVE seen a FEW Rufous Hummingbirds.

Saw my first hummer this morning at one of my feeders. Before I could get the camera spot opened the door and came out and scared him away. ![[Mad]](im/mad.gif)

Don't worry, he'll be back. I haven't seen my elusive orange hummer anymore. Must have been the heat!!

Yes there are. G~mom and every single one of those 328 species are found in the New World ONLY. No other areas of the world have ANY Hummingbirds except for North America, Central America, and South America.
