This hardy little bird is a permanent resident along our Pacific Coast, staying through the winter in many areas where no other hummingbirds are present. More vocal than most hummingbirds, males have a buzzy song, often given while perched. In recent decades the species has expanded its range, probably helped along by flowers and feeders in suburban gardens; it now nests north to British Columbia and east to Arizona. Native to the west coast of NA, this little bird is named after Anna Massena, Duchess of Rivioli.

Ohh how amazing! The color on this magical beauty is as beautiful as can be! A fantastic capture, I am completely jealous of course, lol. They have all left now for the season, but it has been harder than ever to capture these fast, enchanted and most fascinating creatures. Big love here!!
Brooks Garten Hauschild replied:
Thank YOU so much for the love & wonderful words, Sharon! Some of ours stick around all year. They are so special, yes...and I am looking forward to your enchanting images when they return to your garden!

So cute and dependent upon you to feed him. The eyes are so determined and beautiful. It's great Photography showing the wing "wind" in a circle. One would wonder how his little heart pumps fast enough!! wonderful!!!:D L/F
Brooks Garten Hauschild replied:
Aha, Mary, you found one of my little hummers! Thank your for the kind words...but he is NOT dependent on me! They love our flowers & feed on them mostly. The feeder is just supplemental when there are few flowers around. Love them so!
