Anna’s Hummingbird at Cardinal Climber

Anna’s Hummingbird at Cardinal Climber



Anna’s Hummingbirds () are still buzzing around our garden. We usually have some hummingbirds that remain here during the winter so I leave my feeders up until I don’t see any hummers for several weeks. Click on photos for full sized images.

Hummingbird feeders are great, but if you want birds in your yard year round, you will want to plant landscaping that attracts birds.
