RE: Anna's Hummingbirds‏ Valerie 12/8/13

I have been rotating humbird feeders out; place a defrosted one out and bring in the frozen one! They are incredible, it was 20 degrees when an Anna’s was at the feeder!

Yesterday a friend called my attention to a sub-adult Anna's who has taken charge of her feeder. Young perhaps but not submissive, it chases away 3 other Annas who try to get at the feeder. When not at the feeder it (he?) guards it from a nearby tree. All puffed up against the chill he fooled us by being so stout until we got a good look at beak and markings. Judy Krieger
