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.
Coppery Metaltail
A small hummingbird (9-10 cm) endemic to the Andes of central Peru at 2,500-3,800 m. Males have a coppery-bronze tail. Nectarivore of cloud forest and elfin forest edges. A Peruvian endemic. Named after the botanical collector Therese, Princess of Bavaria.
