Of the four Pacific Northwest hummingbirds, Anna’s is the only one that doesn’t always migrate south to warmer climes in the winter. This week, John Doerper's urban garden — a certified backyard habitat with many low and tall ferns, shrubs, and trees — was abuzz with Anna's:

"An average of 3-5 birds, both males and females (4:3 ratio). They're flitting below shrubbery and tree canopies, catching bugs. Some flowers bloom here, even in winter: "Dawn" viburnum, winter-flowering cherry, winter jasmine, camellias, and evergreen clematis. The big orange honeysuckle and the flowering quince often bloom during warm spells." John Doerper   Bellingham, WA   10/09/15
