Anna’s Hummingbird (Calptye anna)

Hummingbirds are some of the smallest birds in the world. These birds live on nectar and a little honey and are the pollinators of the bird world. Hummingbirds can also fly backward and sometimes even hover. Yet the largest Hummingbird is only the size of of a bee or bigger, but not very big.

    Hey, that is a beautiful photo! I love watching the hummingbirds on that red bottle-brush flower plant outside your window. I had no idea there were birds the size of bees…..is it really true?
