The Back Yard Don
The Back Yard Don

Decided to do a little BYB (back yard birding) the other day. The Anna's hummingbirds were quite active, this guy in particular. He seemed to favor this perch in our lime tree which worked out for me since there was a long separation from his perch to the darkened shrubs in the background. At one point, he chased off another male and then flew back hovering about 2 feet (<0.5m) in front of me and scolded me. As if to say, "You get out of here too, human!" But I'm like, "Dude, you're living at MY house and eating MY food. Not happening." He seemed to reluctantly accept my on-going presence. 😜 A shot of his takeoff in first comment
