Winter Time in SW Washington

Came home from a mini vacation in Canada to a week of snow and ice at home, and it isn't even officially winter yet. These guys seem content as long as the hubby keeps up his farm chores and feeds them everyday. Most hummingbirds leave for the winter - but this one has stayed around.
