Description
This male Anna's hummingbird is like a glittering fragment of a rainbow! His feathers literally sparkle! He has a beautiful pink-rose gorget and iridescent green feathers. The bright colors of his feathers is not pigment and is due to the refraction of light off the structures of the feathers themselves. The resulting colors are much more vivid and iridescent than those of birds with only pigmented feathers. Hummingbirds are little jewels!
