Bus Stop Birding


Pure serendipity: waiting for the bus this morning and was accompanied by this Anna's hummingbird. I'm pretty sure it's a juvenile as it lacks much coloration on its head and throat. Plus, the wings extend beyond the tail; in an adult, the tail feathers extend beyond the wing tips.


And it had a pure, naive affect--too young and inexperienced to realize that I was a potential threat. Instead of zipping away upon seeing me, it placidly checked me out.
