Thursday's Bird Watch!

The background of the deep red tree foliage contributed to a striking photo of this Anna's Hummingbird.  It was taken from our 2nd floor balcony where I was able to lean against the doorway to hold the camera steady.  Its's been an exceptional spring season for Anna's Hummingbirds in The Lodge Central Courtyard this year with four successful nesting sites.  The flowers as well as the trees have been without question the best we have seen.  It's a great time of year to take a stroll through the courtyard, take a seat on a bench and enjoy the trees, flowers, and bird life.
