Rufous Hummingbird

Today was a warm wet winter day in Houston, TX and this morning I decided I would start working on weeding the backyard gardens. While I was weeding I heard a hummingbird and when I looked up there was a hummingbird at my feeder! The first hummingbird I have seen since I put it up earlier this month and the first time I have seen this specie. It was a female Rufous Hummingbird - Selasphorus rufus. It would sit and drink for a minute and then zoom off and then return in about 10 minutes; it did this a few times.
