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.

Rufous-webbed Brilliant

O beija-flor-brilhante-do-Napo é um beija-flor de tamanho médio das encostas andinas do Equador e Peru. O macho apresenta partes superiores verde-brilhante e uma gorjeira verde-iridescente. Alimenta-se do néctar de diversas flores em florestas da encosta andina. A fêmea é mais apagada com partes inferiores malhadas. Como polinizador, contribui para a reprodução de muitas plantas dos Andes orientais.
