Anna's hummingbird directly above me on a wire, looking not very colorful on a very gray Seattle winter's day.

I built a roof above my rear entrance to the basement and directly above me as I worked was a hummingbird feeder. Noticed it didn't take the hummingbirds long to get used to me working three feet away from them as they were feeding.

A great overhead of this female Anna's Vingio!


Not sure that's a she; see the dark feathers at the neck? Could be wrong, don't remember thinking about it at the time. Hard to tell because colors seem all washed out because such a dark afternoon.

Not sure that's a she; see the dark feathers at the throat? Could be wrong, don't remember thinking about it at the time. And the colors look so washed out because such a dreary afternoon. I just like the chance to really see those tiny feathers.

Oops, didn't mean to post basically same reply twice. Is it possible for me, or someone, to delete either of those and also this one?
