This female Anna’s hummingbird adds a bit of colour and personality to the backyard on a rainy day. She is quiet and stealthy–and often materializes without making a sound. Photographed on January 22, perching on the Scarlet Trumpetvine after furtively having several long sips from the new nectar feeder–which has also drawn the interest of Black-Capped Chickadees, too.

I hope it’s more than sheer chance that she showed up, since there is a hummingbird-friendly garden in the backyard … but a little luck of the Irish can’t hurt! 😀

There was a wonderful video on Facebook of someone holding a feeder and the hummingbird landed on his finger and went for the nectar…it was lovely. Nothing like as clear as your beautiful photos though! 🙂

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to handfeed the hummingbirds in our backyard … we’ve spoiled them with too many “self-serve” sources of nectar! 🙂 🙂
there are some lucky lads and lasses who have 60-80 hummies show up at their nectar feeders AT THE SAME TIME … these folks live on the migration path!!
