Anna's Humminbirds are most often thought of as having a red head, but as you can see that's not necessarily the case. At this particular angle the prismatic feathers produced not only reds, but also gold and green.

Anna's Hummingbirds the most common hummingbird on the Pacific Coast. Weighing less than the weight of a nickle, these tiny birds expend so much energy that they must eat half their weight in nectar each day. At night they enter a hibernation-like state. Their heart rate and breathing slow down and their body temperature falls from the daily normal of 107 degrees to as low as 48 degrees Fahrenheit.

I have been photographing the things I see for over thirty years. A resident of San Luis Obispo County, I'm lucky to have many excellent photo destinations within a few minutes' or hours' drive. Beyond the local area, I have traveled throughout California and the western United States, visited far away American destinations such as Chicago, New York, Florida, and Alaska, and international destinations in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. My photography varies from Architecture to Industrial Art to Nature to Wildlife and I'm sure you'll find something suitable for your home or office. Visit my blog
