Before the freezing weather, the Orange-crowned had become a regular to this
hummingbird feeder. I could see the sugar water drip off of its bill. Now
that we are below freezing, I see him moving from port to port. I do not think
he is getting any water.
Since my last post, the feeder froze within about five minutes. I replaced it
with another from inside the house.

The Anna’s has got to be rethinking some of its decisions right about now!
Dreaming of Saguaros maybe? I can’t believe you and Lyle still have
hummingbirds!
Do you think the Orange-crowned is able to get nectar out of the hummingbird
feeder?

The Anna’s Hummingbird is here this morning. I put the feeders out shortly
after 8:00 AM with a higher pecentage of sugar. No ice has formed after
being outside for almost three hours in 24°F temperatures. The Anna’s has
been feeding and was chased away by an Orange-crowned Warbler.
