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.
Hooded Visorbearer
A small hummingbird (8-9 cm) endemic to the Chapada Diamantina highlands of Bahia, Brazil. Luminous golden-green forehead visor and dark plumage. Nectarivore of rocky campo rupestre habitats. Classified as Endangered due to extremely restricted range and habitat degradation.
