Since the 1950s, Anna’s hummingbird (Calypte anna) has increased its breeding range both north and east. Very common in much of its range, adapting well to suburban areas. Their habitats are gardens, chaparral, open woods. Found in a wide variety of habitats within its range, including streamside groves, chaparral, open oak woodland, coastal sage scrub, gardens, city parks. Most common in lowlands and lower mountain inclines, but might wander to high mountain meadows in late summertime.

This hardy little bird is a permanent resident along our Pacific Coast, remaining through the winter in lots of areas where no other hummingbirds are present. Much more vocal than most hummingbirds, men have a buzzy song, often provided while perched. In recent decades the species has increased its range, probably aided along by flowers and feeders in suburban gardens; it now nests north to British Columbia and east to Arizona.

Feeding Behavior: Their feeding behaviors are at flowers, usually feeds while hovering, expanding its bill and lengthy tongue deep into the center of the flower. At feeders, might either hover or perch. To capture little insects, may fly out and take them in midair, or hover to pluck them from foliage. Youthful: Female feeds the young, sticking her bill deep right into their mouths and regurgitating small bugs, perhaps mixed with nectar. Age of young at first flight about 18-23 days.

Eggs And Diet: Incubation is by female only, 14-19 days. Young: Female feeds the young, sticking her bill deep right into their mouths and regurgitating tiny insects, perhaps mixed with nectar. Age of young at first flight about 18-23 days. Mostly nectar and bugs. Takes nectar from flowers, and will feed on small insects also. Will certainly also feed on sugar-water mixtures in hummingbird feeders.

Anna’s hummingbird Nesting: May start nesting in December, or even previously. In courtship screen, male hovers in midair, providing buzzy song, after that flies a lot higher; he after that dives steeply toward the female, making a loud explosive popping audio at the bottom of the dive. Likewise buzzes back and forth before female in short shuttling flights. Nest site is variable, usually on a branch of tree or shrub, sometimes in vines, on wires, under eaves. Usually 4-25 feet above ground, can be lower or higher. Nest (built by female) is a compact cup of plant fibers and crawler webs, lined with plant down and sometimes feathers, the external camouflaged with lichens.
