Anna’s hummingbird is a denizen of many areas, one of them being the Monterey coast. If you’d like to know more about this common but neat bird read here:

This Anna’s hummingbird is located near the Point Pinos Lighthouse and the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links. The lighthouse was closed to visitors when I left the letterbox but can be seen close up Thursday through Monday from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.

The Point Pinos Lighthouse which is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the west coast can be reached from CA 1 by exiting at CA 68 west, then turning left onto Lighthouse Avenue, or by driving along the waterfront from the Monterey Bay Aquarium on Ocean View Blvd. From downtown Pacific Grove, follow Lighthouse Avenue north until it intersects Asilomar Avenue. Its address is 737 Ocean View Blvd or 80 Asilomar Avenue or Asilomar Blvd and Lighthouse Avenue, take your pick. Must have been a non-profit special select committee that decided (or didn't decide) on all those addresses.

Anyhow, find the lighthouse street entrance and look for the Tenth Tee sign. Start at the north side of that sign. Look behind and down at the cinderblock wall. About a foot behind the fence reach down into the cinderblock recess, remove the wood chips and find the Anna’s Tenth Tee Letterbox.

Thanks for coming! Please replace the letterbox so it’s not easily seen and throw in a few wood chips to obscure it further.
