Happy Valentine’s Day! This male Anna’s Hummingbird’s gorget glowed a glorious pink yesterday afternoon when the sun peeked through the clouds briefly, and the light struck his gorget just right so that it glowed solid pink, unlike the day before—perfect for Valentine’s Day. Despite the heavy rains and high winds here yesterday, the Anna’s Hummingbirds remained feisty and combative around the backyard feeders. I went out for only a few minutes, blissfully sheltered by the patio roof and the thick pillars that hold it up. This belligerent male Anna’s would not let any of the others close to his feeders even as wind gusts caused those same feeders to swing in an arc so steep that some of the nectar spilled out. As the gusts slowed to a tolerable breeze, he hovered near the feeder and his gaze at me seemed more confrontational than welcoming even though I had just refilled the feeders only moments before.
