Anna's Hummingbird- Calypte anna- L: 4 inches
Named after Anna Massena, Duchess of Rivoli, this hummingbird in the first half of the 20th century, bred only in northern Baja California and southern California. The planting of flowering trees providing food and nesting sites has allowed the hummingbird to greatly expand its breeding range. The Anna's hummingbird is now found along the west coast of the United States, but some winter in southern Arizona and in northern Sonora in Mexico.
