The Rufous hummingbird is the most common and widespread of Oregon hummingbirds. This rusty-red and fearless nectar feeder is a popular yard bird, inspiring even the most modest of nature lovers to set up a feeder.

It is a common transient and breeder throughout most of western Oregon, especially in forested regions.
