Anna’s Hummingbird

Paul Demkovich

While walking through the red VanDusen Botanical Gardens we came upon a large stand of blooming rhododendrons that was hosting two or three Anna’s Hummingbirds. One was defending its territory, and was constantly on the move to scare off the others that were coming in to feed. I took many bird in flight photos over about 30 minutes, but only a few qualified as great bird pics!
