Description
A male Anna’s Hummingbird caught in the act — feeding in the red-flowering currant, the great native nectar plant of the Northwest spring. The rose-pink flash of his crown against the deep pink of the blossoms: the Northwest’s signature bird at the Northwest’s signature flower.
And what you can’t see is the best part. A hummingbird doesn’t sip — its tongue is a pump. Forked at the tip, it darts into the flower up to twenty times a second, the tips unfurling and trapping nectar on each stroke. Every visit lasting a second or two is dozens of strokes of the fastest drinking apparatus in the bird world — frozen here mid-meal.
