It’s not hard to find hummingbirds in our area and they’re not shy about hovering close, writes Ayala Berger, community programs coordinator with Rivers & Lands Conservancy.
Contributing ColumnistThroughout my time studying hummingbirds they have taught me many lessons. I have learned about the sounds they make, where they live, what they eat, where they nest and about the incredible feats of athleticism they display. Hummingbirds have also taught me to continue to wonder, to become ever more curious, observant, and appreciative of the natural world around me.
During my time working toward my doctorate at UCR, I studied the sounds hummingbirds make, specifically the sounds of Anna’s and Costa’s hummingbirds . Anna’s and Costa’s are common residents of much of Southern California.
I often waited for hours for the focal bird to sing, when, just as he opens his beak to vocalize, I would hear a voice behind me saying “hunting for aliens?” or “what are you looking at? Oh, a hummingbird, really, where? I didn’t know we had those around here.”
