Female Anna's hummingbird on guard near the front feeder. This gal is definitely the toughest MF on the block. She was not only chasing off a couple of bigger male hummers that dared try to get at her feeder, but she was ready to take me on, too. Plus the two crows in the tree behind me.

Great pic. I had 2 feeders in the backyard, but a female Anna's could see them both from her perch in the tree and would chase off other HBs at both. I ended up having to move one feeder to the side yard, out of her site.
@sarahc I had Anna's flying through Winter blizzards in past years to get to feeder! I love them. I have massive respect for how darn tough they are. When they're wee birds!!
