Time to Migrate Little Guy



On October 4, this Rufous Hummingbird was still hanging around the garden. I had to confirm if this was a Rufous with Laura and John since he isn't very rufous-y.


On the other hand, this hummingbird (below) is an Anna's and they stay here all through the winter. I just put my hummingbird feeders back out. I have a lot of flowers in the summer that they prefer, but soon those will fade and they will fight over my three feeders.

  2. I love your hummingbirds!
    Is that Meadow Clary in the last shot - a rare plant in the wild over here, and I'd like to grow it if I can find some for sale.

  3. Steve: don't give up your blog!!! And that last flower is Salvia guaranitica 'black and blue'. It is very trendy here and the hummers love it. I would like to say I could guarantee you will get hummers if you plant it, but alas....
