Anna's Hummingbird

Calypte anna

Description:

This beautiful male hummingbird was spotted at twilight and flew within one foot of my leg. The flash made the color blue reflect off of the head where it is usually purple. The second image shows some of the purple on the cheeks.

Habitat:

Mexican Bush Sage in the backyard.

Notes:

This species can be seen in the daylight at my other spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/103...
