Backyard Birding

Recently we installed a hummingbird feeder on a plum tree in the back yard. While it took the hummers a week or so to locate it, now they have taken possession and visit it regularly. So far I have only seen Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna), appearing in the photo above. Birding out in the forest makes a great day's excursion but birding in the back yard has its pleasures too - I can relax in a lawn chair with a cup of coffee and some cookies while waiting for the birds to come calling.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Great shot of a real stunning bird. Well done.
Love hummingbirds. I used to wear a beaded hairpiece frequently and hummingbirds would follow me...I think they thought it was a flower. Happened mostly in California.
Nice capture! The hummer's not an easy one to photograph, except if you hang up one of these.
Stunning capture!
