Another one of #Tacoma’s many wonderful residents ✨An Anna’s Hummingbird is posing in the sunlight at Titlow Park with the Narrows Bridge standing tall in the background, a perfect Pacific Northwest moment.
Did you know Anna’s Hummingbirds live year-round in Tacoma instead of ...migrating like most hummingbirds? These tiny birds can beat their wings about 50 times per second, and males perform dramatic dive displays during courtship that can reach speeds close to 60 mph!
