One of the most beautiful waterfalls in North Georgia. These waterfalls flow from two different creeks.

Anna’s Hummingbirds are mostly green and gray, without any rufous or orange marks on the body. The male's head and throat are covered in iridescent reddish-pink feathers that can look dull brown or gray without direct sunlight.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are a blur of motion as they hover before flowers looking for nectar and insects. Listen for the male's scratchy metallic song and look for him perched above head level in trees and shrubs.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are common in yards, parks, residential streets, eucalyptus groves, riverside woods, savannahs, and coastal scrub. They readily come to hummingbird feeders and flowering plants, including cultivated species in gardens.
Anna's hummingbirds are found along the western coast of North America, from southern Canada to northern Baja California, and inland to southern and central Arizona, extreme southern Nevada and southeastern Utah, and western Texas. They tend to be permanent residents within their range, and are very territorial. However, birds have been spotted far outside their range in such places as southern Alaska, Saskatchewan, New York, Florida, Louisiana, and Newfoundland.
While the species was originally restricted to the chaparral of California and Baja California, their range expanded north to Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, and east to Arizona in the 1960s and 70s. This rapid expansion can be attributed to the widespread planting of non-native species, such as eucalyptus, as well as the use of bird feeders, in combination with the species' natural tendency for extensive postbreeding dispersal.
Anna's hummingbirds have the northernmost year-round range of any hummingbird. 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 subfreezing weather by lowering their metabolic rate and entering a state of torpor.
These little Birds are fully active all year round here on Vancouver Island and start to breed in late December and takes the female 1 week to build the nest.

I believe this is the first time I have seen a hummingbird on the ground. There was a chase and then this one landed but kept a eye on the second hummer.
Community Garden, Fort Mason, San Francisco, CA.
I arrived at Steigerwald 1.5 hours ahead of my birding friend to see if I could get another hummer shot at the Red Currant bush. In the 1.5 hours I waited, I was gifted with one visit. I'll take it!
The old bird-on-a-stick pose by this resting Anna's planning his next move. I think he was going for bugs - he kept coming back to this branch for a few minutes.

Yesterday was my first visit to Rithet's Bog in 2021. I encountered this Anna's Hummingbird nicely perched at eye level just as I was finishing my tour at the end of the day. I rarely post Anna's Hummingbird images but it is an extremely common bird here all year long.

"In Christian iconography, Anna selbdritt refers to a representation of St. Anne with her daughter Mary and the infant Jesus. The image type belongs to the devotional images that emerged in the late Middle Ages and particularly frequently and in many forms in Germany and the Netherlands, but also in Italy and Spain. The expression "selbdritt" is an old word which means "in a threesome"." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_selbdritt
"Names for this particular subject in other languages include:
Dutch: Anna te Drieën
French: Anne Trinitaire [...]
Italian: Anna Metterza
Slovene: Ana Samotretja"

I still wonder who the saint with the knife in his hand is.
Photographed in my backyard. This hummingbird is surviving some very cold temperatures here in Yakima County, Washington. Two other birds that were here several weeks ago before the Artic air hit this area have disappeared. Right now (7:15 am, 1/9/2022 it is 15 degrees) I just saw this youngster at my heated feeder.
