New member with question-

I have had 1 or 2 Annas for the last 2 years at my window feeder year round in Seattle.
A few days ago i saw what I think is a fledgling in a nearby tree being mouth fed from the adult who just left my feeder.

This seems early to me, but I'm not knowledgable about hummingbirds.

Not early at all. Anna's are known to nest in the winter months (all three nesting records we have in the state of Texas are between November 1 and February 28).
 
i'm here in Salem oregon. we had humming bird feeder last summer but no hummingbirds came. not sure why. but maybe we got the wrong hummingbirds feeder. we still have it i should take a picture of it and show it to the group. any suggestions.
 
It's always frustrating when someone a few miles away brags about all the hummers they get, when you don't get any. But that's the way it is! I'm sure there's nothing wrong with your choice of feeders. You're not getting any birds because they're aren't any! The birds are not uniformly distributed within their range. People living in rural situations or who at least have significant wild habitat nearby will get more hummers than those in the suburbs.

Migration paths may have something to do with that. Also perhaps the terrain and vegetation. Just my 2 cents worth.
