During the past several days the male Anna's
hummingbird has spent his time either foragiing at the feeder or perched in the
adjacent creosote bushes. All the while singing the inimitable "song
of the Anna's". His efforts were rewarded this morning by the appearance
of a female Anna's, both birds being perched together in one of our
leafless Ash trees. According to the Peterson Field Guide, Hummingbirds of North
America, page 201 "Nests................mostly February to June in northern
parts of range". Could Spring be in the air, so to
speak?
