Welcome to Birdforum. I hope you enjoy your visits. I’m sorry I can’t help, but I’m sure someone will be able to.
 
HI, welcome to the forum. I think the first is a female Black-chinned, in the second photo on the left is a male Anna’s, not sure of the bird on the right. Think more folks need to chime in, I am going to move this to the ID forum to get you more help.
 
I'm just going to jump in here and wish you a warm welcome to you from those of us on staff here at BirdForum (y)
We're glad you found us and please join in wherever you like ;)

Sorry but I'm not familiar with these particular Hummingbirds.
 
Hi DivineFire and a warm welcome from me too.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.
 
I lived in Vegas and had to have help with the Hummingbird I have to agree with Lisa on the female black chin not sure on the rest. And welcome to the forum
 
Thank you , all . I always loved birds used to be able to Id alot in the UK , moved to Arizona and entered a new world lol , first there was the road runner nothing like the cartoon , which sorry to say was my only reference before moving here .
but what sparked my interest was my first sighting of a great horned owl a couple of weeks a go , it was by chance I spotted the wings as it landed on the roof while i was outside , there was 2 young one on the roof one in the tree, amazing it just got better we were visited most nights by at least one of the parents or young , around the same time just as dusk start to turn to night . witnessed the mother take a bird out of the air that was calling in alarm at there presence, she had not been concerned the past 10 mins even with the bird drive bombing her , but it dived at her young and well mum ended that , well I buy a better camera than my phone as just could not get anything more and a blob on a tree and well we have not seen them in 4 days , so I am practicing with regular guests . and looking at the sky more lol
