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.
Frilled Coquette
A tiny hummingbird (7-8 cm) endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. Males have an elaborate rufous crest and extended green cheek plumes forming a frilled collar. Nectarivore of forest edges and clearings. An Atlantic Forest endemic of conservation concern.
