Anna’s are among the most common type of hummingbird found in Southern California. It’s the only
one in North America with a crimson-red crown, but only the males have that
colorful feature. The one pictured here is a female Anna’s, which is less
colorful because it needs to camouflage itself from predators. These birds feed on nectar from flowers and on insects.
