Agressive Rufous hummingbird! [View all]

I have a feeder on my deck and had about 6 different birds coming daily. Now a Rufous has moved in and he chases the other birds away! There's enough room for 4 hummers at a time but he won't allow it. I feel bad for the other birds, but not much I can do...
