Anna’s Hummingbird

Anna’s Hummingbirds, like this one on 28 May 2020, visit the flowers in Erika’s garden. These little birds are interesting and I have previously written about various aspects of their biology, Mostly we see females in the garden, Female Anna’s Hummingbirds are much drabber than their gaudy males. Females and males come in contact only for copulation. The females defend feeding territories, make their nests, incubate the eggs, and feed the young (Clark and Russell 2020).
