About These Birds

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.

Tufted Coquette

A spectacular tiny hummingbird (6-7 cm) found in humid forests and edges of northeastern South America and Trinidad. Males have ornate rufous crest and elongated green, bronze, and white cheek plumes forming a dramatic fan. Nectarivore of forest edges and gardens.
