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.

暗色腿羽蜂鸟分布于哥伦比亚西部和厄瓜多尔西北部的太平洋坡云雾林。体羽暗绿,腿具白色羽毛,腹部较暗。栖息于潮湿的山地森林,以花蜜为主食,也取食小型节肢动物。因栖息地遭受破坏,被列为近危物种。
