More wind and snow ... poor wee things!

I'll begin from the last photo of the day taken near dusk just past 5 PM ... This is the little male Annas finishing his adult moult.. All the other hummingbirds left work early today, but not this guy .. I saw him fly off to  places unknown (to me) for the night at 5:18 PM ... The wind and snow continue this evening and I must admit I worry for the lives of these tiny creatures!  Hope everyone stays safe during this Winter chill!

A sweet and tiny Bushtit posed briefly for me this afternoon... You can see the plum buds underfoot.  Tonight all the trees are coated in a snow blanket!
