[Tweeters] Anna’s mating flight

[Patricia Brent via Tweeters]

Late last week I started hearing the typical loud chirp sound made by male
Anna’s hummers during their mating flights.  Since then I have watched the
males regularly zipping high into our bright sunny skies, then plummeting
 back down emitting that high pitch chirp.

Here in Salmon Creek (Vancouver, WA), there are many Anna’s hummers in the
apartment complex where I live.  It was almost exactly a year ago that I
rescued a male Anna’s in the brutal cold, icy weather.  I sure hope we
don’t have a repeat of that weather.  As an old Northwest kid, I love these
sunny days.  My question is: What are the chances the hummingbirds will
start nesting in January in Vancouver, WA?

Happy birding,

Patti Brent
