...and an Anna's in a bare tree
Anna's hummingbirds don't migrate, and I've got a bunch posing for me.

1. Beautiful photos! Did you take them?
And in what part of the country does one find this hummer? We only have ruby-throated here in PA.

3. beautiful
love that middle shot


Don't know if you know, but there is no need to buy that red stuff - it is artificial color and not really good for them - plain old sugar water is fine and you don't even have to boil it, just use hot tap so the sugar dissolves all the way. One part sugar to 4 or 5 parts water. Clean the feeders out with a little diluted bleach if they get moldy and rinse well.
