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.

A tiny hummingbird (7-8 cm) endemic to the highlands of Costa Rica at 1,800-3,500 m, particularly around volcanic peaks. Males have a brilliantly colored gorget varying geographically from magenta to gray-purple. Nectarivore of páramo and high-elevation gardens.
