This Anna’s Hummingbird claimed his spot on a dead branch in the dogwood near the feeders so he would be close and so he could make sure all of the interlopers were kept at bay. I think this is a male even though his gorget is small, the feathers jutting out from the left side of his neck are also a bright magenta and I don’t think females have colored feathers on that part of their neck. It’s probably an immature male just starting to get his gorget.
