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.

Bronzy Hermit

A small hummingbird (10-11 cm) found in humid lowland forests from Honduras to Colombia. Bronzy-green plumage with rufous underparts. Visits Heliconia flowers with its curved bill. Nectarivore of forest undergrowth. An important pollinator of Neotropical forest plants.
