I like Vicki's back deck!!

A super flight picture you've got here Donald - I love that spread of the tail.

This is a great example for telling the difference between a Rufous and the Allen's hummers which are so alike. That notch in the tail and the width of the feathers are pretty much all that you can tell the difference. Great shot!
