Today I hit the jackpot of photo opportunity! This Today I hit the jackpot of photo opportunity! This is “Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna)”. 3-4 inches long. Found along the west coast. Not endangered, thankfully. 
Fun fact: Anna's hummingbirds can shake their bodies 55 times per second to shed rain while in flight, or in dry weather, to remove pollen or dirt from feathers. Each twist lasts four-hundredths of a second and applies 34 times the force of gravity on the bird's head.
