I am starting to get acquainted with the hummers in my backyard. The seemingly impenetrable heat dome that has enveloped us with 105°+ temperatures for the past few weeks has suddenly dropped to below normal for this time of year so I’m taking the opportunity to venture outside and sit while I have the chance before the weather returns to unrelenting heat. The hummers start coming to the feeders early, when the video camera in the hummingbird feeder is still recording in night vision, before 5:30AM. Yesterday morning, I watched at least two female Anna’s Hummingbirds visit each of the three feeders as well as the California Fuchsia and Salvia which are blooming in pots that I brought with me when I moved here. This Anna’s hovered above one of the feeders while another female Anna’s sat on the feeder perch below.
