Snow in Tucson? Hummingbirds still find food

A departure today from my "5" Star Photo series to bring you yesterday's events. We have lived in Tucson, Southern Arizona for 11 years and for the second time, it snowed. Many birds winter in Southern Arizona because it is a much milder winter climate. Not always the case though. A month ago we had record freezes at 19 degrees. And two nights ago snow. Yet, birds seem to find food. Now we do keep our hummingbird feeders full throughout the winter, but there is usually a more natural food source available. Just gives us some sun and all the Rosemary bushes start to flower. So, yesterday morning I noticed an Anna's Hummingbird drinking from our rosemary's flowers. I grabbed my camera and here she is:
