Stunning Anna's Hummingbird on Plum Tree Label

Add a touch of nature to your correspondence with these wildlife-inspired address labels. Our resident adult male Anna's hummingbird has never let me photograph him at close range, but on one evening in early June 2016, he came to sit on one of the old plum tree branches, just a few feet away from me. Perhaps, after seeing how comfortable the four visiting Rufous hummingbirds were around me, he probably figured that there wasn't anything scary about me -- and that I might even afford him some protection from the little hellions. So rather than being on the receiving end of his metallic scratchy or tick-tick-tick calls, he stared for a few moments into my lens, and then went to feed from the nectar feeder before making a much less frenzied exit than was his usual style.
