anna's hummingbird

Give them any kind of water and they'll come! In this case, it's a $5 table top fountain which we found at a yard sale at least 4 years ago. The crows, orioles, finches, blackbirds, jays and hummers are constantly enjoying this one.

I'm enjoying the hummers playing in the fountains as much as they are.

I was finally able to put out the small solar fountains one day before the wind started up again. It didn't take long before this hummer showed me why it was worth the effort.
