Is this a recent visitor?

Think your sweet lil jewels may be the Annas; which are year-round residents in the Western side of Washington state, with rare events futher east ...

Or, he may possibly be the Broad-tailed .. but again, according my Sibley Guide .. the Broad-tailed would be an even rarer sighting, that far north, especially this time of the year.

But, hey ... I'm merely an amateur at this, and am simply trusting my handy-dandy books and some internet resources. See, what you think > http://www.hummingbirdworld.com/h/17.htm

Sure are a sight for these ol eyes tho'! ..

I'm thinking your right Magpye. I have sighted two more males and several more females.. so I'm thinking its the Anna. Thanks for the imfo.
