Who's back?

The Watcher is back.

Do you recognize him?

It's an adult male Anna's Hummingbird.

That fuchsia colored head.

That's the key.

I'm glad to see a male once again.

I'm hoping he'll hang out through the winter.

Sunday's Hummers

Lots and lots of  female Anna's photos this week.








Turned head - grooming


Two birds side by side!

Maybe an adult and a fledgling






Happy Sunday to you all!

They like this tiny bubbling pool at the top of the fountain.

Pretty wet bird!

Dipping down

Fanning off

Ready for another go at it.
