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.
Pink-throated Brilliant
O beija-flor-brilhante-de-garganta-rosada é um beija-flor pouco conhecido das encostas andinas do Equador e Peru. O macho tem partes superiores verde-brilhante e uma gorjeira rosada-iridescente. Alimenta-se do néctar de flores na floresta nublada andina. A informação sobre o seu comportamento e ecologia é escassa. A perda de habitat nas florestas das encostas andinas constitui uma ameaça para esta espécie de distribuição restrita.
