Hummingbird puffs up on a chilly high country morning.

As the sun came over the horizon on this morning the mercury had dipped to the low 40s.  Nature was starting to wake up and birds were making lots of noise and setting about their daily activities.  This little Rufous Hummingbird however was in no rush to get moving seemingly preferring to just sit and take in the warming sun’s rays.
