This young Anna's Hummingbird had me laughing this morning while watching it try to drink the nectar in the feeder. It's apparently been working on or building a nest and had a few feathers stuck in its mouth. The bird got frustrated because it couldn't get the feathers to fall so it flew over to the wire on our deck railing and tried rubbing the beak on the wire. It still didn't succeed and after a few clicks of the camera, it finally gave up and flew off.

A few moments later the bird did return to the feeder, feather free, and was able to finally get a good drink. These birds sure can brighten any gloomy, rainy day for me!
