Urban Hummingbirds at Dusk
Seattle has an overwintering hummingbird species called Anna’s hummingbird. They primarily can do this because of feeders provided by humans. At night hummingbirds go into a state similar to hibernation called a torpro. They can be very active a the feeders right at dusk storing up energy for the evening. Here I caught a rare occurrence of two occupying the feeder space without one chasing the other off.
