Since the Rufous hummingbirds
have arrived this spring (right), they've run off
all my pink-headed birds called Anna's. Rufous birds are very
territorial. Anna's stay year round in Washington rather than migrating
to Mexico for the winter. They are also the only hummingbird who make
sounds. I hear them often while they're resting on my tree branches
happily singing and talking. All other hummingbirds are silent.

The Anna's Hummingbird was named after Anna Masséna, Duchess of Rivoli in
Italy. She was the wife of a nineteenth-century bird collector, Duke Victor Massena.
