Selasphorus rufus
Migrating through California in the spring from the south to breeding areas More than Anna's these species are bullies about their territory over a patch of flowers. This one would chase off Anna's and Alllen's in the same area. Similar to Allen's and with minor differences. One being the size and shape of R2 feathers. Also Rufous in breeding season has a rufous back. Also temperment.
Near a lake and city landscaped flowers.
