This photograph of a female Anna's Hummingbird was taken near Victoria, BC.
This bird found some colorful flowers and is feeding on the nectar.
A hummingbird can consume up to 50% of its weight in nectar each day.

Lungo questo tratto di cammino, tra Colfosco e Falzé di Piave, ripercorriamo quella che un tempo era un’importante strada romana la Via Claudia Augusta che, in località Sant’Anna, si intersecava con la direttrice Opitergium-Feltria-Tridentum.
A testimonianza di questo lontano passato, oltre ai resti di un ponte romano lungo il corso del Piave, troviamo la Chiesa di Sant’Anna le cui origini risalgono al 1265, quando era un punto di sosta per i numerosi pellegrini che in queste zone transitavano per il commercio. L’edificio, inizialmente intitolato a Santa Maria, conservava preziose opere d’arte, come la pala di Francesco da Milano del 1537 oggi conservata al Museo civico di Treviso.
Attorno alla chiesa si trova un ampio prato di querce e acacie, oggi utilizzato anche per la sagra del paese, e a pochi metri di distanza il fiume Soligo confluisce nel Piave.

Anna’s Hummingbirds are mostly green and gray, without any rufous or orange marks on the body. The male's head and throat are covered in iridescent reddish-pink feathers that can look dull brown or gray without direct sunlight.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are a blur of motion as they hover before flowers looking for nectar and insects. Listen for the male's scratchy metallic song and look for him perched above head level in trees and shrubs.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are common in yards, parks, residential streets, eucalyptus groves, riverside woods, savannahs, and coastal scrub. They readily come to hummingbird feeders and flowering plants, including cultivated species in gardens.

Here's another shot of our winter Hummer. A male Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) perched just above a feeder in our Butterfly bush.
I can't get enough of shooting this little jewel!

Anna's hummingbird is a small bird species found primarily in western North America, ranging from southern Alaska to Baja California in Mexico. The male has vibrant iridescent feathers on its head and throat, which can change color depending on the angle and lighting. The female has a duller green coloration and lacks the male's flashy head and throat feathers. They are known for their incredible aerial acrobatics and their ability to hover in place while drinking nectar from flowers. Anna's hummingbirds are an important pollinator for many plant species and are a popular species for birdwatchers and backyard bird enthusiasts.

Here's what I believe to be a juvenile male Ann's Hummingbird (Calypte anna). The black feathers at it's neck threw me off on this ID. If I'm wrong, please tell me!
In the first half of the 20th century, the Anna's Hummingbird bred only in northern Baja California and southern California. The planting of exotic flowering trees provided nectar and nesting sites, and allowed the hummingbird to greatly expand its breeding range.
The dive display of the Anna's Hummingbird lasts about 12 seconds, and the male may fly to a height of 40 m (131 feet) during the display. He starts by hovering two to four meters (6-13 feet) in front of the display object (hummingbird or person), and then climbs in a wavering fashion straight up. He plummets in a near-vertical dive from the top of the climb and ends with an explosive squeak within half a meter of the display object. He then makes a circular arc back to the point where he began. On sunny days the dives are oriented so that the sun is reflected from the iridescent throat and crown directly at the object of the dive.
Yesterday afternoon (6/19) I noticed frequent visits to my feeders so I decided to get a few photos. I was hoping that a colorful male would show up, as he did earlier in the day, but no luck. I got good photos of this female, Yakima County, Washington.
