About These Birds

Shining Sunbeam

A medium-sized hummingbird (12-13 cm) found in Andean cloud forests from Colombia to Bolivia at 2,500-3,800 m. Coppery-bronze plumage that shines with iridescent sunbeam-like reflections. Nectarivore of montane forest edges and páramo shrubs.

Anna's Hummingbird

Their body temperature can drop to near ambient at night to conserve energy.
