Description
This male hummingbird calls my garden home, and defends it vigorously.
It might look a little disconcerting to see him surveying his territory from a pine tree perch, but one of the hummingbird feeders is located nearby, and he takes staking his claim to it very seriously. In the Seattle area, Anna's hummingbirds overwinter, so his claim may literally be a matter of life and death. He will share with visiting females (and flirt), but so far has not been willing to share with other males. It is the reason I have two feeders. Hopefully he can't be everywhere at once.
