🐦 Humming...Birb?

I spotted an Anna’s hummingbird perched at local park. Most of the time they don’t stay in one place long enough for me to even focus on them, never mind catch a photo. Even when they pause somewhere like this one, it’s usually just for a few moments before they fly off again.

Anna's Hummingbird (black, green and white) perched on a tree.

Of course, the reason the bird was staying in one spot was that it was grooming itself, so I also had quite a few shots that looked…less impressive.

The same bird twisting its neck around to groom its feathers.

And further twisted so it's all neck.
