Every once and awhile, I'll look outside during the winter and there will be a hummingbird, buzzing away, staring back at me.I went to Birds of Puget Sound and discovered a few species winter over, such as Anna's hummingbird and its rufous cousin. These birds are very territorial, and will buzz intruders off the feeder.
Here is a picture of a ruby throated humming bird by photographer Greg Scott. It just caught my eye.
Go check out his web site, there are some amazing shots of these little birds there.

We have a feeder outside our kitchen window. The hummers are gone all summer, sucking up nectar the natural way. But they come back when the cold weather sets in.
We have to move the kitchen chairs so that our cat doesn't leap up at the window and scare the feathers off the little birds.
Or, if its a Anna's hummingbird, it just may buzz the cat.
