The Anna's are tough little birds.
They've come through the cold and snow just fine.
Here's to milder temperatures and sunnier days!

They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm only familiar with Red Throated hummingbirds and they leave Iowa in winter. What do the Anna's humming birds eat in winter besides nectar from your feeder especially when it's cold, snowy, and iced over? How many times do you put out nectar during cold days? I'm assuming there's no such thing as a heated hummingbird feeder.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good 2022!
Amazing how tough hummers really are. Beautiful photos. I want to share a link to an article about caring for hummers in cold British Columbia, as I think you might enjoy it Beth. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/check-out-the-ingenious-ways-people-are-freeze-proofing-their-hummingbird-feeders-during-b-c-s-cold-snap-1.6300723 note: I can't get the hyperlink working to this url, so you will need to copy paste to read the article.
