Wilson,

Please re-read the discussion. I mentioned "the planting of
winter-flowering non-native trees and shrubs" in an earlier message. And
yes, birdfeeding is one of the ways in which these artificial populations of
Anna's Hummingbird are maintained. This is not in question.

See:
Russell, S. M. 1996. Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna). In The Birds of
North America, No. 226 (A. Poole and F. Gill, eds.). The Academy of Natural
Sciences, Philadelphia, and The American Ornithologists' Union, Washington,
