A Stunning Hummer

< back blip >

Zippy wasn't around and this gorgeous, chubby gal slipped in for a sip or two of the sweet nectar in my yard.  A minute later I saw the Zipper chasing someone around the yard but I couldn't tell if it was this girl.

Anna's Hummingbirds are the most common hummers around here during the winter.  I'm hoping to see more of them around the "neighborhood."

I got a firm confirmation on Zippy, today.  It is a male Broad-billed Hummingbird, despite no red on its bill.  I can finally call him "he" with confidence.
