Daily Postcard: Adult male Rufous Hummingbird spotted Friday afternoon in White Rock. Rufous Hummingbirds have the hummingbird gift for fast, darting flight and pinpoint maneuverability. They are pugnacious birds that tirelessly chase away other hummingbirds, even in places they’re only visiting on migration.

DANIEL VON HELM Sept. 1, 1970 – July 2, 2021

September 1, 1970 Santa Fe, New Mexico – July 2, 2021 Rio Rancho, New Mexico.

He took great pride in owning every automotive
