Craig Tooley trained his camera on a beautiful Anna's Hummingbird recently. How beautiful is this?
Craig then headed for the beach where he found a Black Turnstone.

For a few days we had smoke from the terrible Southern California fires. Smoke makes the sun appear orange and even red. Thea Leonardi photographed a sunset that was affected by the smoke, and found an Anna's Hummingbird was captured in her photos.
Fortunately, our skies are now clear. May the fires be contained soon. We had a little rain Tuesday early morning, and it has turned cold! 36 degrees at our place this morning, which is quite cold for the coast.
I thank Thea for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
John and Janice Batchelder purchased a handheld Hummingbird feeder. Janice filled it with one part sugar and four parts water, and stood on her deck, holding the feeder. She said it didn't take long until a local Anna's Hummingbird came to investigate. He/she landed rather gingerly.
And the the hummer settled in to feed.
These feeders are called "Humm Buttons." I'm thinking I might want to get one too!
Thanks to John and Janice for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Craig Tooley photographed this Anna's Hummingbird backlit by the sun.
Such a lovely photo. Anna's Hummingbirds are year round residents of the Mendonoma Coast.

Paul Brewer caught these beautiful Anna's hummingbirds just as they were about to feed.
I think of these tiny birds as living jewels. They feed on nectar - if you plant it, they will come!
