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.
Curve-winged Sabrewing
A large hummingbird (12-14 cm) found in humid forests from eastern Mexico to Honduras. Green plumage with curved wings and a long, slightly decurved bill. Named sabrewing for the thickened, curved outer primary feathers. Nectarivore of forest undergrowth.
