Anna’s Hummingbird in Flight

Anna's hummingbirds can reach top diving speeds of around 60 mph, but their normal flight speed is around 25-30 mph. During flight, the little birds can reach nearly 10 g's of force. When diving, their tail feathers create a chirping sound as part of their mating display. (Lily Roby/Courthouse News)
