The Changing Color of the Anna’s Hummingbird
I replenished the feeders yesterday so the nectar was fresh and plentiful during this week of snowy weather.
I watched the first hummingbird hover nearby – apparently for a good look at me – before swooping in dressed in camouflage of green and black. (Not the best picture but I wanted to show you how he looks incognito.)
And then a flash of color,
and a drink.
Heads up, another glance, and a color change to brilliant pink – or is it fuchsia?
Time for another drink and he’s mostly green and black again.
Heads down, heads up,
The beautiful Anna’s Hummingbird – I never get tired of watching him.

Such a vibrant colour. I do so wish we had hummingbirds in Britain.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks Pete. We’re lucky to have them living in our backyard. And I never get tired of watching them. I’m surprised every time they turn pink before my eyes!
That purple one! Holy cow!
Isn’t it amazing! And it’s the same hummer!
You get hummingbirds in the winter?
Yes. The Anna’s Hummingbirds live here year around.
That would be really cool!
