Mr. Anna is a reliable resident of my garden. He is there regardless of conditions. Many of the birds have abandoned my garden because the feature that drew them, the fountain, has not been working properly for weeks and my Rube Goldberg efforts to keep it going have resulted in only intermittent success. It will be replaced soon. In the mean time, after the giant storm last weekend, what I think the birds consider my “backup” fountain, is not working either. The GFI tripped during the storm and it will not stay set. A friend is coming to my rescue but I’m not sure how soon he will be able to fix it. In the mean time, Mr. Anna still dominates the yard and his feeders. Luckily, many of the nectar filled flowers he loves are still blooming so my garden remains Mr. Anna’s place.
