Anna's Hummingbirds

About a month ago, I added another hummer feeder in the front yard to minimize a conflict between Anna's and Roufous Hummingbirds.   Finally someone tried drinking from this.  When I walked by the other day, a hummer was hiding in the Japanese maple bush nearby and fled to the neighbor's wisteria vine.



More flowers are in bloom as if welcoming more birds. 

A Japanese plant called "Yamabuki", meaning the mountainside comes alive in spring.


A new Columbine with big pink blossoms



At last, on the 2nd year, a pink honeysuckle bush beginning to bloom in my backyard.  The hummers will like this new addition.

One afternoon a curious Anna's Hummer flew in to get nectar from the new red annual for the 1st time this season.

I have already made several hanging baskets with little red and pink blossoms.   All these flowers will be in bloom very soon once the temperature stabilizes.  A busy season is waiting for hummingbirds.
