Look at the Sunny Side of Everything...

            ...Sometimes That’s Easier Said Than Done. !!

From the Archives of my Mind... and Computer.

Allen's Hummingbirds breed in a narrow strip of habitat along coastal Oregon and California. 

The Allen's Hummingbird is a remarkably early migrant compared with most North American birds. Northbound birds may depart their wintering grounds as early as December, arriving on their breeding grounds as early as January when winter rains produce an abundance of flowers.

Like other birds, Allen's Hummingbirds use their feet to help control their body temperature. When it's cold outside they tuck their feet up against their bellies while flying, but when temperatures soar, they let their feet dangle to cool down.

The oldest recorded Allen's Hummingbird was at least 5 years 11 months old when she was captured and re-released in California during banding operations in 2009.
