Anna’s Hummingbird

Thank you to everyone who left their very kind words the last few days. Each and every message was so very much appreciated.
Everyday I think 3 different hummingbirds come to my feeder. I have kept it full all winter so they have stayed here. Anna’s Hummingbirds are among the most common hummingbirds along the Pacific Coast, yet they're anything but common in appearance. With their iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rose-pink throats, they are more like flying jewelry than birds.
Anna’s Hummingbirds make a strong impression. In their thrilling courtship displays, males climb up to 130 feet into the air and then swoop to the ground with a curious burst of noise that they produce through their tail feathers.
