Anna's Hummingbird

---

Anna s Hummingbird Calypte anna Huachuca Mountains Cochise County ARIZONA United States 23 August Adult Male Trochilidae The feather structure of the feathers on the head of the male hummingbird are what gives the pinkish coloration rather than pigment. Thus the color depends on the angle of the light and the angle of the viewer. This hummingbird in flight is banking, using its spread tail to steer.
