About These Birds

Speckled Hummingbird

A small hummingbird (9-10 cm) widely distributed in Andean cloud forests from Venezuela to Argentina at 1,000-3,000 m. Green plumage speckled with buff spots on the breast. Nectarivore of montane forest undergrowth and edges. One of the most widespread Andean hummingbirds.

Annakolibri

Der Annakolibri ist der häufigste Kolibri entlang der Pazifikküste und eine von nur drei Kolibriarten, die ganzjährig in den USA verweilen. Männchen zeigen spektakuläre Sturzflüge aus 40 Metern Höhe und fangen sich mit einem lauten, von den Schwanzfedern erzeugten Zwitschern ab. Nachts kann ihre Körpertemperatur nahezu auf Umgebungstemperatur absinken, um Energie zu sparen.
