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.

A medium-sized hummingbird (9-10 cm) found from the southwestern US to Mexico. Males have an iridescent blue throat and green body with a distinctive coral-red bill with dark tip. Nectarivore of desert canyons, oak woodland, and gardens. Often attracts attention with its squeaky calls.
