Anna's Hummingbirds

The View from my back yard.

Anna’s Hummingbirds

.

When I look out of my windows

It is such a pure delight

To see Anna’s hummingbirds

As they come and go in flight.

.

Their nectar hangs near my windows.

They impatiently do wait

To see me put out fresh bottles.

They Worry if I’m running late!

.

They depend on us all winter,

In the summer, not so much.

December, January and February

We, they have come to trust.

.

There are many kinds of Hummingbirds.

Anna’s birds are medium small.

Females with green iridescent backs

With Golden flanks and all.

.

The males of course most beautiful

To win her heart so fair!

His white circled eyes, the rosy crown,

With the gorget extending out from there.

.

At times they look through my window

Wings fluttering in mid air.

Are they curious how I live or

Is something wrong out there?

.

They are one of Gods little creatures

He has given us to enjoy.

I will love those rapid little hearts

As they come, drink and deploy!

Aloha Donna, Love those little hummers, and your beautiful poem. I only wish we had them here in Hawaii.

[Christina May Shanaberg]

Hummingbirds must have built in radar, when it comes to feeders! Sometimes, you get so many that you have to just keep filling and filling their feeders. I love them and I loved your poem about them!
