    This morning I observed two hummingbirds sitting side-by-side on the feeder 
    for a long time.  I thought this was odd and I noticed that their body 
    shapes made me think they were different species.  Finally, I picked up my 
    bins and realized that one was a male Black-Chinned and one was an immature 
    male Annas.  I happened to be talking to my friend, Lynn Lakso, and was 
    exclaiming to her about the Black-Chinned - a new yard bird for me.  It did 
    return once more while I kept watch.
    
    A great way to start a morning!!
