Spotted
Anna's Hummingbird is a vocal and striking species, prominent on the Pacific coast of North America, known for the male's brilliant rose-pink gorget and crown. Unlike many hummingbirds, it often overwinters in colder climates.
Where to spot
Found predominantly along the Pacific coast of North America, from northern Baja California up to British Columbia, often in urban parks, gardens, open woodlands, and chaparral. Some populations expand inland.
How to spot
Listen for their varied, often scratchy songs and calls. Look for the male's iridescent rose-pink head and gorget, which can appear dull black until light hits it. They are common visitors to feeders and often perch conspicuously.
When to spot
Resident year-round in much of its range, active throughout the day. Their breeding season can extend from late winter through early summer.

Male Anna's Hummingbirds produce a unique, loud 'pop' sound with their tail feathers at the bottom of their courtship dive, a fascinating example of non-vocal sound production.
