Anna's Hummingbirds continue to use the feeder in
Leeds. Two females and one male. One female appears to have sustained
some injury to a wing earlier in the year. However, her wing primary
feathers are slowly growing back and she flies well enough to survive. The
other female is well and active. The male is unusual looking and may well
be a hybrid. He sings like an Anna's but his gorget lacks color except at
the edges. Also, his gorget doesn't extend as long as is usual for an
Anna's. Maybe an Anna's X Black-chinned hybrid? Perhaps as time goes
on this bird will develop further.
