Luring a hummingbird in Cloverdale.

Nature photographers, patience pays.

It took Cloverdale’s Gayle Matheson ’30 to 45 minutes to get this little guy to be comfortable enough to come to me.’

Her photo of a male Anna's Hummingbird was taken on Dec. 26.

Happy new year to all creatures great and small.
