PuedeS ESCUCHAR EL ZUMIDO DE UN COLIBRI DESDE 100 MILLAS DE DISTANCIA
Male Broad-tailed Hummingbirds make a loud noise with their wings, called a “trill.”
Is it a cricket?
No, it’s a hummingbird! Listen for this sound in valleys and mountains in the U.S. west in the spring - fall.
“My territory!”
This sound is how a hummingbird’s claims its space. They defend flowers with lots of nectar.
“It’s my territory, too!”
Female hummingbirds also defend territory! Why? They need nectar, too, especially when raising chicks.
““I saw a hummingbird in my yard!””
