Anna's Hummingbird

This is the first hummingbird I have ever photographed and is one of a half dozen shots I got before it left. My bird book shows only two types of hummers, one being the Anna's Hummingbird. This one has that gorgeous purple throat shown in the picture accompanying that designation. The bird was in Delta Ponds.
