Anna's Hummingbird Male Color and Feeding Time

During summer, Hummingbirds tend to feed more in the early morning in Canada.  Typically, from 5:30am to 9am when the days are the longest, and gradually shift the time.  For example, during July, the hummingbirds would come at 5:30am.  In September, they come a little later from 7am.


You will notice that a male's head for Anna's Hummingbird should be pink or bright red.  However, on a cloudy day or based on different angles, it will appear "black".  

A male hummingbird's head color can change based on the situations and sunlight reflections.

Very interesting.



The above picture is a fairly young hummingbird.  For a male, the pink color comes out gradually over few weeks.
