Anna's Hummingbird: October 3, 2022

 There are several hummingbird possibilities in British Columbia, but only one is likely in October.

The Anna's, a beautiful little bird with a pink throat.  Or at least the male has a pink throat.

We met our first hummingbird shortly after arriving in Victoria.  We put a few things in the house we were borrowing for a few days, grabbed our binoculars and camera, and walked out the front door.  To find this little guy next door.

We saw a lot of Anna's in the four or five days we spent in Victoria, and none anywhere else we went.

The best photo of the pink throat came while we were waiting for the ferry to take us back to the mainland on October 14.
