[Birdnet] Anna's Hummingbird

[Kristin Purdy]

The hummingbird that visited my feeder this morning at about 7:40 was a male ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD. He returned after I defrosted the top of the feeder. I've had several good looks at him through the scope.

He appears to be a hatch-year male. His gorget and forecrown are fully feathered in rose-red and he has a patch of rose-red behind each eye. The back of his head and neck are green.  

It has only taken 3 years of maintaining my feeders in the winter attract an Anna's Hummingbird. Now I know why Don Quixote kept tilting at those windmills.
