Anna's HBs now visiting

I have Allen's hummingbirds all year, and in the summer (in particular), they chase off all other birds - in fact they chase off each other!

Yesterday, I noticed that we were getting some Anna's from across the street - the neighbors across the street have a 20+ foot tall bottle brush tree, and it usually has swarms of hummingbirds on it when it is in bloom, and many of those are Anna's. Occasionally, some of them will wander over to my back yard, only to be chased off by the Allen's, which are much smaller, but yesterday, the Allen's were allowing the Anna's to stay. I think they may have been too busy fighting each other.

I'm not sure how long the Anna's stay here, but I will be looking for them.
