Tweeters,

I was at my folks today, watching their hummingbird feeder, as they have been irregularly observing a hummingbird for several weeks now. I was able to observe a female Anna's Hummingbird, which was quite a surprise as they are almost 10 miles away from Puget Sound waters, and although they have lived at that location for many years, I have personally never seen an Anna's there or anywhere up on the Auburn-Enumclaw Plateau.

So I cleaned up the feeder and changed out the syrup and we'll see if they can keep it around through the winter. Anyone else have many records of this species from that vicinity? I know they are locally common anywhere from Olympia to Everett, however almost all of my personal sightings are within a couple miles of the Puget Sound itself.
