[Tweeters] Pollinated Anna’s

A Hardy Fuchsia on our patio is a hummingbird attractor.

They perch in nearby rhododendrons.

Yesterday an Anna’s with a yellow appearing crown visited the fuchsia.

This unusual appearing Anna’s was feeding at the fuchsia off and on for quite a while and I took many photos.  So I am sure that the yellow was not due to the lighting.  I could see the yellow not only in the photos, but also without binocs.  Our guess is that the yellow is pollen from our yellow day lilies or some other flower in our yard.
