Anna's Hummingbird, female
Until today, I had never seen an Anna's north of Arizona. I've been putting out feeders since 1986, and we've never had a confirmed sighting. But now, after the first 3-inch snowfall and below-freezing temperatures, we have an Anna's five miles away, almost three months after all the other hummers had gone. Only she knows why she's still here.
A concerned birder has put out a feeder for her, but on the verge of winter we know the outcome cannot be a happy one for this poor little lady.
