There are three male Anna’s Hummingbirds that compete for the feeders in my garden. Their behavior is interesting because sometimes they seem to get along and actually perch near one another. Other times, the dominant one is constantly on the lookout for the others and will chase them off when he sees them. I noticed that at least two of the Anna’s have new feathers under their beaks, something I’ve never noticed in an Anna’s before now. The feathers are still coming in with a few still pinfeathers but the color seems to be brownish tipped with white. When the rest of the gorget glows magenta, they remain brownish. The new feathers almost look like a beard. I’ll keep an eye on them to see when the color of the new feathers changes.
