Rufous Hummingbird Art Print & Greeting Card by Gene Irvin (1934–2026)

The Rufous Hummingbird — Fiercest Traveler in the Bird World

Don't let the size fool you. The Rufous Hummingbird is one of the most tenacious birds in North America — known to chase off much larger birds, drive away chipmunks from its nest, and complete a 3,000-mile migration from western Mexico to southern Alaska each year, one of the longest migrations of any bird relative to its body size.

Gene Irvin's pen, ink, and watercolor portrait captures the species' bold character — the vibrant rufous-orange and red plumage that makes the male unmistakable, rendered with the fine stippled detail that defines Gene's wildlife art.

Available in:

• 8×10 fine art print
• Greeting card with envelope

Why collectors love it: The Rufous is a favorite among birdwatchers for its personality as much as its plumage — Gene's portrait captures both. A standout piece for hummingbird collectors and Pacific Coast wildlife art enthusiasts.
