Frolicking in the Fountain - Anna's Hummingbirds

[Donkees]

The gardens around this Historic farm in Fremont is a very popular birding site. In one corner of the farm there is a water fountain where the birds come for a drink or to bathe. While waiting at this spot for the warblers and the other migrants, I saw this endemic hummingbird species exhibiting some very interesting behavior. It swooped in had its drink and then was playing in the fountain as if to catch a water droplet.
