The world as I see it
I am always amazed when I see an Anna’s Hummingbird at my feeder when it is 24 degrees outside. How do they survive in this cold weather in the Pacific Northwest? In cold weather, they will go into a state of “torpor”, an energy saving mode where their heart rate and body temperature are reduced …
Now that the osprey stalking season has ended for the winter, heron stalking season has begun.
During the summer, these beautiful little birds are a common sight in my back yard. They like to take a bath in my water fountain and sometimes I'll have 7 or 8 of the birds bathing at the same time.
This was taken early in the morning. The hummingbird perched on a the metal stand I use for the hummingbird feeder. He landed in a spot in front of a break in the tree with a bright area behind it.
