This week's cheering-up bird is a male Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna). "Anna" in this case was Anna Massena, 2nd Duchess of Rivoli, who lived in the 19th Century and whose husband was a keen amateur ornithologist (as well as being a Duke and Prince...). This beautiful species lives on the west coast of North America.
