Hummingbirds I.D.

Re: Black-chinned Hummingbird at San Pariel.

 

After studying the photos of the bird that was identified as a Black-chinned Hummingbird, it turns out that he is actually an Anna’s Hummingbird. As we know Hummingbirds can be difficult to id and the lighting angle when observing them is critical.

 

Good birding
