About These Birds
Anna's Hummingbird
Anna's hummingbird is the most common hummingbird along the Pacific coast and one of only three species resident in the United States year-round. Males perform spectacular dive displays, plummeting from 40 meters and pulling up with a loud chirp produced by tail feathers. Their body temperature can drop to near ambient at night to conserve energy.
Stripe-throated Hermit
A small hermit hummingbird (9-10 cm) found from southern Mexico through Central America to Colombia and Peru. Striped throat, green upperparts, and rufous underparts with pale tail tips. Nectarivore of forest undergrowth and edges. One of the most widespread small hermits.
