Description

Hummingbird on Orange Aloe Flower 6. Allen's Hummingbird feeding on a stand of orange Aloe flowers, a succulent plant.

This hardy little bird is a permanent resident along our Pacific Coast, staying through the winter in many areas where no other hummingbirds are present. More vocal than most hummingbirds, males have a buzzy song, often given while perched. In recent decades the species has expanded its range, probably helped along by flowers and feeders in suburban gardens; it now nests north to British Columbia and east to Arizona.

At flowers, usually feeds while hovering, extending its bill and long tongue deep into the center of the flower. At feeders, may either hover or perch. To catch small insects, may fly out and take them in midair, or hover to pluck them from foliage.

The Aloe plant is a low-growing succulent, with sprawling recurved blue-green leaves with toothed margins, with stems in colors from violet to bronze in strong light. The inflorescence is a raceme of tubular orange-red flowers.
