My mother has always had a deep love for birds, and among all the different species, hummingbirds have always been her absolute favorite. She finds them fascinating, not only because of their small size and incredible speed but also because of their stunning colors and graceful movements. So, when I sent her this beautiful video of an Anna’s hummingbird, she could hardly believe her eyes. She was mesmerized by the way the bird glowed in the sunlight, its iridescent feathers shimmering in an array of brilliant colors.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are one of the most common hummingbird species found along the West Coast of North America. These tiny birds are truly a sight to behold, especially when you catch a glimpse of them hovering mid-air, their wings moving so rapidly that they appear as a blur. What makes them even more remarkable is their dazzling plumage. When the sun hits their feathers just right, they reflect an incredible spectrum of colors, making them look almost otherworldly.
In the following video, captured by talented photographer and videographer Don DesJardin, a male Anna’s Hummingbird moves his head from side to side, revealing the full brilliance of his iridescent feathers. His throat and head light up in shades of pink, red, and orange, creating a breathtaking display that is truly nature’s artwork. Watching this video is a reminder of how beautiful and delicate these creatures are.

I have always wanted to see an Anna’s Hummingbird in person. Their vivid colors and energetic presence make them one of the most captivating birds in the world. If you love hummingbirds as much as my mother does, here’s a heartwarming video of a rescued hummingbird that was nursed back to health and released back into the wild. It’s truly inspiring!
