Walking around the bay I spotted this female Anna’s Hummingbird sleeping on the job. LOL It’s not often that I can get a shot of one without arousing their immediate attention as they quickly fly off.

What a coincidence. I recently did a post on hummingbirds. But I don’t know what species I have photos of. Perhaps you can identify them for me.

  Hi Jennifer. Looks like you have a Black-chinned male hummingbird and a female of the same. I use Kaufman’s Field Guide to Birds of North America to help me to identify various birds as well as The Sibley Guide to Birds. Hope this helps :O)

Aren’t they beautiful these birds BD? I’m having a great time with the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds! 🙂

  I’ve never seen a Ruby-throated Hummingbird H.J. I love these little birds.
