Geocache Description:


Anna's Hummingbird

Calypte anna

This hardy little bird is a permanent resident along our Pacific Coast, staying through the winter in many areas where no other hummingbirds are present. More vocal than most hummingbirds, males have a buzzy song, often given while perched. In recent decades the species has expanded its range, probably helped along by flowers and feeders in suburban gardens; it now nests north to British Columbia and east to Arizona.

Conservation status:  Since the 1950s, has expanded its breeding range both north and east. Very common in much of its range, adapting well to suburban areas.

Family:  Hummingbirds

Habitat:  Gardens, chaparral, open woods. Found in a wide variety of habitats within its range, including streamside groves, chaparral, open oak woodland, coastal sage scrub, gardens, city parks. Most common in lowlands and lower mountain slopes, but may wander to high mountain meadows in late summer.

This Geo art series has a final and you will need to find feathered birds near several of the caches.
