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 had been a dry Summer, so the numerous hummingbirds [...]

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 [...]

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.

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...
