Description
�The iridescent throat patch of male hummingbirds is called a gorget. The Anna�s gorget extends over its head, making it more of a balaclava than a bib. Oddly, female Anna�s have a tiny red gorget�females of most species have none.
The Anna�s Hummingbird is the most common hummingbird on the West Coast, and it has thrived alongside human habitation. Its range has increased dramatically since the 1930s, when it was found only in California and Baja California. Thanks to widespread backyard feeders and introduced trees such as eucalyptus, it now occurs in healthy numbers all the way to Vancouver, Canada. Even so, Anna�s Hummingbirds can fall prey to outdoor cats in gardens where flowers grow close to the ground.
