Description
Anna's hummingbird resting on the curve of a trellis with the muted hillside in the background. This little fellow has been guarding his feeder from other males all winter. There are several feeders in the immediate vicinity, and plenty of sugar water, but he still chases all others away.
The male's head and throat are covered in iridescent reddish-pink feathers that can look dull brown or gray unless the sun is shining on them. When he turns away the beautiful iridescence is gone.
These birds are relatively common in yards and readily come to hummingbird feeders and cultivated plants in the garden. They will also hover in front of the window when they want the feeders refilled.
