Dear tweeters,
I always wondered how the Anna's hummingbirds could find enough food in the frozen and cold winter. We have about 500 apple trees and there are about 10 within view of our kitchen window. Every year flickers (and starlings) feed on the remaining apples that hang from the trees, and some rainwater or juice, likely a mixture of both collects in the holes that are left. Hummingbirds then regularly visit those, drinking the "juice."
When I first saw it, I took a few videos if anyone is interested.

It?s January, so how can there be swallow at Deer Lagoon on Whidbey Island? But on this clear crisp morning?there they were. Several dozen of both barn and northern rough-winged working over the water and along edges of reeds. Close up flybys for me and other birders onsite. Have they been reported elsewhere in the Puget Sound Basin this early in winter?
