I saw a strikingly pale (leucistic) hummingbird today (12:25 pm) at the flower garden at the beginning of Old Railroad Trail at Blackies Pasture in Tiburon (37.89609, -122.490064). Apparently an Anna's. I spotted it hovering near some flowers at first, but by the time I got my camera up it had flown over the parking lot asphalt where it settled down and rest on the ground with wings outstretched (see attached photo). After about 5 seconds on the ground, it quickly flew away east over Blackies Pasture. According to passersby, it had been it has been in the area for at least the past couple of days. I am interested in hearing from folks about this "ground resting" behavior (if that is indeed what it was), as I had not seen it before.
