On Saturday we had a female/immature Anna's Hummingbird at Maryhill St. Park while doing the Columbia Hills CBC. This bird was gleaning insects off of Locust Bark and there was no feeder anywhere in sight. This was a first record for me for Anna's hummingbird during the winter in eastern WA away from a feeder. I'm very curious to know if people have records for eastern WA of Anna's Hummingbird that are not associated with a feeder. I don't know if these records are of interest to the general lists listed here (Tweeters, Inland-NW and BirdYak) so feel free to respond privately. Please only send records though from Eastern WA and of records believed to be independent of feeders. Once I get any responses I can compile a list for people to see.

Thanks.
