Hello Tweeters,
I was sweeping the leaves of my Patio in the rain, when all of sudden some
smal bird flew by me. It realy startled me and he kind of flew around me so
i went inside when he landed on our Humming bird feeder. As i watched from
the window i saw that it was a female Anna's. I like to mention this is the
first time i kept my feeder hanging. I told Patrick we maybe get an Anna's
if we keep the feeder going. My friend in a retirement home had two last
year,and i visit her all the time this to see this birds. On our Ccristmas
bird count we had 10 what is high for the Tacoma area.We realy not in an
area where there are abundant. I had some in the fall but there dont stay.I
got rewarded for going in the pouring rain to rake leaves.First for winter
in our yard.
