Yes, I do apologize for the clickbait headline, but I found the video absolutely amazing. It shows what a male Anna’s Hummingbird’s feathers look like up close and from different directions.
The iridescent feathers almost make the hummingbird look like its morphing or changing colors like a chameleon. In reality, the perceived change in colors has to do with the way the light hits the feather’s structure. It’s similar to the fact that Blue Jays aren’t technically blue.
