Anna's Hummingbird

Anna's Hummingbird is a small, vibrant bird native to the western United States and Mexico, easily recognizable by its shimmering emerald-green and ruby-red colors. It measures about 3 to 4 inches long and weighs around 3 grams. Known for its incredible flying abilities, it can hover in midair and even fly backwards. Its diet primarily consists of nectar from flowers, which it consumes using its long, specialized bill and tongue, and also catches small insects for protein. This hummingbird is a vital pollinator and is often seen darting quickly between flowers, displaying remarkable agility and energy.
