Anna's Hummingbird

We've had rain showers all day, but I was able to sneak outside and get a few photos of the resident Anna's hummingbird. We feed them year round and they are quite friendly.

Anna's hummingbirds are the only hummingbirds to spend the winter in northern climates; they are able to do this as there are enough winter flowers and food to support them. During cold temperatures, Anna's Hummingbirds gradually gain weight during the day as they convert sugar to fat In addition, hummingbirds with inadequate stores of body fat or insufficient plumage are able to survive periods of sub-freezing weather by lowering their metabolic rate and entering a state of torpor.

Good news: They are pretty sure it's not a torn rotator cuff, so off I go to physical therapy for months....my Dr. said it took you 4 months to get this way, and now it will take you 4 months to undo it....cheers:))
