My Anna’s Hummingbirds
As temperatures continue to plunge, I’m taking extra care to keep the hummingbird feeders thawed out and replenished. That means remembering to bring them in at night and returning them first thing in the morning; otherwise they are frozen solid. My sweet little birds perch in the trees before and after coming to feed, so I’m able to capture them at rest, these below, from yesterday ~
I caught the shining one in the maple tree out front this morning.
I love them all! 🙂

Aww, such sweet Anna’s! How great you take such care to keep their feeders warm, Susanne! Great shots, they look warm-ish 😉
Thanks, Terri! I love those little birds and I’m happy to help them get through the cold snaps!
Sweet ones. They must be the hardiest of hummers!
Yes. ☺️ They stay here year-round in the Seattle area.
Beautiful photos, Susanne! ❤️
Thanks, John. ☺️
You’re welcome, Susanne. 😊
They are very cute.
They truly are. 😊
I’m not sure why, but we’ve hardly had any hummers in the last year. Anna’s and Rufous are our predominate species.
Interesting. I see my Anna’s year-round.
Beautiful, especially the shining one!
Thanks, Sarah. I was happy to see him shining in the sun!
Delightful indeed. I saw a video on Twitter of a young woman hand-feeding hummingbirds by holding large flowers that she had filled with sugar-water. I would love to do that.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. They truly are delightful little birds. My mom told me my grandma loved them, and they would land on her!
Awww, so very sweet.
