Description
This Anna's hummingbird has a beautiful pink-rose gorget with a touch of green. The time of day, the direction of sunlight, and structure of certain feathers can cause the light to split, much like a rainbow, and different colors can be refracted back to the viewer. The resulting colors are much more vivid and iridescent than those of birds with only pigmented feathers. Hummingbirds are little jewels!
