Hello Tweeters,
I been watching my Anna's Hummigbird since the 12th of November. I took
photos of both birds so i know i have an immature male and an immature
female. But watching this birds every day, each one got there own
behaviour. By now i can tell who is on the feeder. One thing is, there
never come together and feed, also the time each bird come. The male i
observed eight times comming around 7.15 AM.When I come home around 2.30 Pm
i see the female almost every day.Around 4.15 the male will appear.The male
sits mostly on the right side perch,the female is using the left side, as
if there marked there territory. The female usual after drinking will sit
next to the feeder on a branch or flying high in to the tree and sits for
long as 15 minutes.The male will take about 10 sips and fly of,he is also
camera shy and never let me get to close.
It's sure been nice to have Hummingbirds expecial in the winter to
watch,when everything is so gloomy outside.

As we come back from watching all the Gulls my yard was full of birds
including the Townsend's Warbler who try to get on to the Suett, only my
Camera holding him (male) back.Lot's of Kinglets with two of Golden-crowned
Kinglet's. Watching you yardbirds can be fun too expecial on dark days as
this today.
