I hear reports of hummingbird activity on a regular basis. This photo of a male Anna's Hummingbird was taken at our juice feeder on Monday. Recently I learned a couple of new things about hummingbirds through the thoughtfulness of Dallas Retirement Village resident Earl Kimball. He recommended a PBS Nature program, "Hummingbirds - Magic in the Air". I was surprised to learn that hummingbirds are "the smallest of all the warm-blooded creatures". Also that they can live up to twelve years. As winter is just around the corner, remember it's important to continue to provide juice for our smallest of friends.
