We've had out first rain in months here in Southern California, and there is nothing, nothing , half so worth seeing in life as a hummingbird taking a bath. (This is my first ever video, so I apologize for all the rough edges. Let me know in comments if you know about software -- free or cheap! -- that I could be using. I've started on VirtualDub. There's no sound, and it's about 45 seconds long.)
It was late Spring/early Summer, sometime near my 9th grade year, not long after the locust plague, when walking outside was always crunchy, and our cars slip-sided from side to side on the pavement because we were continually hydroplaning on swarms of living insect carcasses. It had been a dry Summer, so the numerous hummingbirds [...]
I work a lot next to this open door with a balcony off to two flowering pear trees. For about three years now I’ve idly heard this bird, and finally I’m going to identify it. Well, it’s (I think, to the best of my knowledge) called “Anna’s Hummingbird.” Isn’t that ironic? annas_bird2 I think it’s a female [...]
“If you are a member of the press/blogger/other media type person you are not permitted to write about our location or our operation in any way shape or form.” That was the first rule people who scored a reservation at DC speakeasy Hummingbird to Mars were required to abide by.

Can you find the bird in this picture? Ok, you probably found it right away, but just in case you need a hint… it’s this little guy, just hanging out. I’m assuming it’s a juvenile Anna’s Hummingbird since they are 95% of the hummers you’ll see around here.

Drink of the Week: Bombay Government Regulation Punch Every visitor to Hummingbird to Mars is greeted with a cup of punch before sitting down to imbibe a bevy of fine cocktails. The Bombay Government Regulation Punch is a pleasant rum drink topped off with fresh gratings of nutmeg. It is wonderfully refreshing with that perfect edge.

Back in early September, I took these shots of a hummingbird fight. They’re not the clearest, but they’re cool. All the same bird. The guy sitting at his perch, watching the sky for intruders There’s one! I’ll make myself look larger. That will scare him Didn’t work? I’ll dive-bomb him!
Swedish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Theresa Andersson's debut Hummingbird, Go! was released last month. Though the melodies of "Na Na Na" and "Birds Fly Away" are more pop than anything else, Theresa's rich and unusual voice transforms both songs into something deeper. Theresa's voice - which at times reminds me of a more palatable Kate Bush - isn't her only unique talent, she also...
