Measurements Both Sexes Length: 3.9 in (10 cm) Weight: 0.1-0.2 oz (3-6 g) Wingspan: 4.7 in (12 cm Anna’s Hummingbirds are mostly green and gray, without any rufous or orange marks on the body. The male's head and throat are covered in iridescent reddish-pink feathers that can look dull brown or gray without direct sunlight. Anna’s Hummingbirds are a blur of motion as they hover before flowers looking for nectar and insects. Listen for the male's scratchy metallic song and look for him perched above head level in trees and shrubs.
Yesterday I saw TWO humming birds in the backyard! One visiting the sage and the other one by the humming bird mint.
This morning we had another (possibly the same) humming bird at the sage again.
And this morning I saw a humming bird moth at one of my hanging baskets! They really do look like tiny humming birds! (I've never seen one in person before)
The bestest doggo ever 🥺 and yes he understands Spanish not English. I tried both. Such a sweetheart. I had a ton of fun chilling by the feeders watching the humming birds smack into each other.
