Allen's Hummingbird

Allen's Hummingbird is a small, vibrantly colored bird native to the western United States, especially California. Known for its rapid wingbeats and hovering flight, it feeds on nectar from flowers and insects. The male has a vivid green back and a bright red throat patch called a gorget, which it displays during territorial and courtship behaviors. Allen's Hummingbird migrates seasonally, traveling significant distances between breeding grounds and wintering areas. Its agility, unique appearance, and role in pollination make it an important and fascinating species in its ecosystem.
