In case you haven't heard, sunny 'warm winters' AZ has been freezing the last couple days. I can't tell you what 28 and 29 degrees do to tropical plants. Anyhoo- the hummers seem to do just fine, but they are just sucking down the nectar. I hear them out there before it is even light, barely even gray, chittering, chasing and drinking! They are so cute and absolutely fearless. The female Anna's are here at the house again, one was closely inspecting my (bright red) hair in the sun, I could feel the wind from her wings stirring my hair. Scouting for nesting material I think!

Pic's aren't too great, but these little guys are FAST!
