 Anna's
HummingbirdAnna's is the most common hummingbird in southern California, and one of only two species that are permanent residents of the US or Canada (Allen's is the other). Unlike most other hummers, Anna's has a (minimal) song. Anna's and other hummingbirds vigorously defend their feeding territories which, although often as small as a few clumps of fuchsias, provide adequate nectar and small nectar-feeding insects. From July to late fall, however, transient and juvenile birds disregard territorial claims, and competition at feeders increases greatly. Physical Description Average weight: male 4.31 g, female 4.07 g. The Anna's is the largest hummingbird seen on the west coast. Plumage Adult male: Metallic green back, dark rose-red crown and gorget, grayish breast. Adult female: Green back, grayish-white breast, white throat with some red spots, white tips on outer tail feathers. Juveniles: Young of both sexes look like the adult female, but may have unmarked throats. Distribution Observed in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, and British Columbia (resident on Vancouver Island) Anna's Hummingbird Range Map Visit
