| I have several Hummingbirds I need Id help with. The first one I think is the Costa's Hummingbird. The other's I am not sure of but they may be the same birds.
Thanks

| #1 and #6 are both male Costa's.
#2 and #3 difficult call between Costa's and Anna's.
Not sure about #4 and #5.
Location would help a lot, please!

| Thanks! Anna's is very improbable in Tucson, so I'd assume Costa's for 2 & 3 as well then.

| #1 is Costa's. #2 is either Costa's or Anna's, probably Costa's. #3 looks a LOT like Anna's but is probably Costa's in very bright light based on the location. #4 and #5 might be Black-chinned but I'm not at all sure. #6 is Costa's. |

| I have to see what other shots I have but it seems Costas is what they are.
Thanks all. |

| Ah Tucson, so many hummingbirds. I have a place in the SE corner of AZ and here are my thoughts:
#'s 1 & 6 are male Costa's. #'s 2 & 3 are male Anna's (They are not common, but are definitely present during migration. The gray breast helps with #2). The angle of the photo on #4 makes it a challenge, so no idea. And #5 is an immature or female Broad-billed Hummingbird (note the lower mandible is orange and the white line behind the eye.
Thanks for sharing! |
