Am wondering if image 1,4 and bird on left in 5 are all Black-chinned Hummingbirds? Agree with Hummer on right in image 5.being Anna’s.

Cheers

Agreed, Black-chins & Anna’s, no Costa’s.

Thank you
I am still not entirely sure about #2
Here is the picture of #2 (on the left) and #1 (on the right - presumably Black-chinned H.). Doesn't #2 look a bit smaller and whiter on the underside?

Thanks
