Anna's Hummingbirds


We have a hummingbird family. They do not fear us. But they usually approach the feeders individually, and as the feeders need refreshing they follow the keeper " tsk" tsking and strafing her until she gets the message.  Tonight one of the feeders was on the ground.  There was strafing and tsking till the keeper made it right. Then three of them showed up a once.  We have never seen three before, but they stayed until it became too dark. We think they are all female because the males have rosy Lenten head and throats. And these were green. We wonder where the little nests are. We hope they all keep coming back because they are delightful and beautiful, and very hard to capture with a slow camera.
