Anna's Hummingbird (F)

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Bit of a gloomy day, however, the Anna's turned up today, and I used some fill flash on her.

Comments always welcome & appreciated

The fill flash really sets her off against the dark background. Do you have a lot of hummers right now?
I still have about 7 that come to the feeders regularly and a few who have claimed some territory out in the garden.
