Description
A male Anna’s Hummingbird caught mid-stretch, fanning his tail feathers wide — a moment of gymnastics that most people never get to see. Even a bird that beats its wings fifty times a second has to limber up.
And that tail is more than it appears. In the male Anna’s famous courtship display, he climbs high into the sky and dives at full speed — and at the bottom of the dive, his outer tail feathers vibrate in the wind and produce a loud, sharp chirp. The sound isn’t from his voice at all: he literally sings with his tail. The feathers fanned out in this photograph are a musical instrument.
