The male Allen's Hummingbird is distinguished from the very similar Rufous by its green back and crown. It has a narrow range along the West Coast.

Anna's is the familiar backyard hummingbird to Californians. Unlike almost all of our other hummers, it does not head south from its breeding range in winter.

Hummingbird feeders provide a means of getting to know a remarkable member of the animal kingdom. In addition to allowing wonderful views of such entrancing birds as the Black-chinned Hummingbird, your feeder is likely to attract orioles, woodpeckers and other nectar and sap eaters.

The loud trill made by the wings of the male Broad-tailed Hummingbird is a common summer sound in the Rocky Mountains.
