Calypte anna

Anna's Hummingbirds are uncommon in northern New Mexico, and I cannot find any sightings of them in Los Alamos county. They are found occasionally in the southern-most parts of the state, and mostly frequent the Pacific West Coast. This particular fellow thinks he owns the tree next to my daughter's house; he'll sit there, go off and visit a flower bush, and come back. He always sits right at the same twig on the tree, and scans everywhere like he is making a plan for what to do next.
