Anna’s hummingbirds are among the most common hummingbirds along the Pacific coast. In the first half of the 20th century, they bred only in northern Baja California and southern California. The planting of exotic flowering trees provided nectar and nesting sites and allowed these birds to greatly expand their breeding range. Anna's hummingbirds normally have a body temperature of around 107°F, but when outside temperatures fall, Anna's and many other species of hummingbirds enter torpor. Their breathing and heart rates slow, and their body temperature can fall as low as 48° F. When the temperature warms, the hummingbirds can become active again in a few minutes. Anna’s hummingbirds are welcome backyard birds and are easy to attract! Set out a hummingbird feeder, then mix your own hummingbird food using one part sugar to four parts water. These birds don’t migrate much, so don’t be surprised if the bird visits your feeder all year long!
