A play of light in nature: the iridescent plumage of Anna the hummingbird

Today, 05:00

Anna's hummingbirds attract attention with their vibrant, iridescent plumage, which changes depending on the angle of light. Males are particularly striking, with their throat feathers capable of flashing shades of emerald and ruby. This iridescence is created not by pigment, but by the structure of the feathers, which reflects light in a unique way. This makes this tiny bird one of the most striking natural "showpieces" among hummingbirds.
