Hi Tweets

I can second Jane Westervelt's comment regarding Anna's Hummingbird. I
have a friend in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada who has multiple
feeders out, and usually attracts anywhere from 4-7 species on a regular
to occasional basis. (Anna's, Black-chinned, Rufous, Calliope regularly,
Allen's, Costa's and Broad-tailed on a much more occasional basis.) He
says, and I have observed, that the Anna's are the most pugnacious of
all consistently. Even with 20-some feeders, the Anna's claim all of
them, establish dominance, and then quarrel among themselves. Jack says
that the fights can get really ferocious.
