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.
Longuemare's Sunangel
O beija-flor-anjo-de-Clarisse é um pequeno beija-flor das florestas nubladas andinas do norte da Venezuela e da Colômbia. O macho tem partes superiores verde-brilhante e uma garganta rosa-violeta-iridescente. Alimenta-se do néctar de diversas flores nas florestas nubladas andinas. A fêmea é mais apagada. A perda de habitat nas florestas nubladas andinas é uma preocupação para esta espécie de distribuição restrita.
