About These Birds

Anna's Hummingbird

안나 벌새는 북아메리카 서해안에 서식하는 중간 크기의 벌새입니다. 수컷은 화려한 핫핑크색의 목 깃털을 가지고 있으며, 꽃에서 꿀을 먹고 작은 곤충도 잡아먹습니다.

Northern Fulmar

The northern fulmar is a long-lived seabird that can survive over 40 years. It defends its nest by projectile-vomiting a foul-smelling stomach oil at intruders, which can mat the feathers of predators and cause fatal loss of waterproofing. Fulmars have expanded their breeding range dramatically southward over the past two centuries.
