Birding and Birds

A couple of days ago my husband and I were sitting on the porch and a hummingbird flew over to apparently investigate us? It hovered around us for a good 30 seconds or so, darting here and there, but it was within a couple of feet of us. They don’t normally get that close! I’m not sure what kind, but maybe Anna’s? Something with a purple chin area.

I already posted my “Great Blue Heron eating a gopher” pics here

but here’s a couple of others from my yard:

Heron in the front yard

Hawk in a redwood tree

Wild turkeys hanging out by the tree swing
