This is the resident male Anna's Hummingbird I call Lilac, this is his 5th winter with me and although it was 22F when I took this shot he is pretty active these days, the first couple winters he spent a lot of time sleeping when the temperature dropped but he is pretty seasoned now.

I spent time comparing these images to female Anna's and female Black-chinned hummingbirds. I'm not convinced of my ID. Wikipedia notes that female Anna's have white tips to their tails, so do felmale black chinned. Allaboutbirds.org notes "Black-chinned Hummingbirds tend to look long billed and thin necked, and they show a white collar when perched." These seem to be shorter billed -- bill about as long as head is wide -- and are arguably stocky. But the throats seem far more clear. My ID is mostly based on the calls: the distinctive Anna's songs fill our days.

A female Anna's Hummingbird takes a brief rest in some blueberry bushes in the subalpine habitat of Cypress Provincial Park, West Vancouver, British Columbia. I watched a dozen or so Rufous and Anna's in this blueberry patch chasing one another for hours. It's a wonder they have any time to feed, as they chase one another 90% of the time! Talk about territorial!

A hummingbird in our back yard. Took a lot time and patience to get this close, especially, that another hummingbird was guarding this feeder as his territory. Photo by Gabor Balazs.
