Mr. Anna was exhibiting his usual macho behavior when I went out to check on things in the yard yesterday after a series of storms here. He had to announce his displeasure as soon as I went out, at first without my camera; he flew from his watching place and hovered in my face just to let me know who was in charge of the yard. When I sat out with my camera waiting for him to return to the feeder, he was wary and spent most of the time perched high atop the Xylosma. When he did return, he darted back and forth to the feeder then backed away enough for me to get shots not only without any impingement by the feeder, but with his gorget reflecting its beautiful magenta. And, despite his curmudgeonly demeanor, he is always elegance in the air.
