Anna's Hummingbird plus other birds, West Spokane County

Brief sighting around 4-23 in blooming Forsythia bush sucking nectar from a tiny yellow blossom.
A thrill.  Crimson head, iridescent lime green back.

Others at feeder daily since 4-25 are Calliope and perhaps another type I can't identify with certainty.

Currently daily/frequent visitors:

one Goldfinch pair (not like the good ole days, alas)

a few red winged blackbirds

white crowned sparrows

downy & hairy woodpeckers & flickers

quail

chickadees

robins

house finch

wrens

at least one bluebird pair (not as many as prior years)

towhee

black headed grosbeak

hummingbirds, calliope & . . . ?
