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.
Green-throated Mango
A large hummingbird (12-13 cm) found in northeastern South America from Venezuela to Brazil. Males bright green with a deep green throat bordered by blue. Nectarivore of mangroves, coastal scrub, and forest edges. Often found in semi-open habitats near water.
