Of all the birds who visit our garden, I think the hummingbird is my favorite. He buzzes around the garden like a bee. His petite size belies his alpha bird personality–for a tiny bird, he is fierce and determined.

During the winter months I miss some of my feathered friends, who packed their tiny bags and headed for sunnier climes. But we always have a few devoted Anna’s Hummingbirds who are “regulars” at our backyard diner. With his green cloak of feathers and bright red cravat, Mr. Hummer (as we call him) is the quintessential Christmas Bird.

The draught of understanding; wisdom, peace and love is ours.
Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away. Hummingbird don’t fly away, fly away.
