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 medium-sized hummingbird (13 cm) endemic to the Sierra de Perijá on the Colombia-Venezuela border at 1,700-3,100 m. Iridescent green plumage. Nectarivore of cloud forest. Classified as Endangered due to extremely restricted mountain range habitat.
