Hopeless at identifying hummingbirds as they look so different depending on the light and different plumages through the years.
All photos taken mid October.
Looking at the maps in Sibley I assume the first 4 at San Fran must all be Anna's hummingbirds ?
The remaining were shot at Henderson Bird Preserve on the outskirts of Las Vegas. The site literature suggests that black-chinned, Anna's, Costa's, Rufous, and Calliope are found there at various times of year.
Any help with identification much appreciated.
