A recent visit to California yielded these photos of an Anna’s hummingbird. This bird visited several times over the course of four days. It was a little skittish of my presence on its patio!

Thanks, Suzicate. We were on the Pacific side of the US. No ruby throats there : / I was told they were Anna’s. I did not know that, either!

I still love the ruby throat on it…it sparkles like a jewel, a ruby! I love how hummingbird colors, like the emerald as well sparkle.
