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.
Steely-vented Hummingbird
A medium-sized hummingbird (9-10 cm) found in varied habitats from Colombia to Venezuela. Green plumage with a steely-blue vent. Nectarivore of forest edges, gardens, and open country. One of the most common garden hummingbirds in northern South America.
