Andrew_Lyall 28 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hello. All photos taken at my home in Corpus Christi, TX on Jan 21 or Jan 22. Thank you. Hummingbird #1 (Black-chinned?) Hummingbird # 2 This hummingbird is noticeably larger than #1, even without a side by side comparison. I would estimate that it is 10-15% larger. I apologize for the poor photos. I spent hours staking-out the feeder from the outside, but so far have only been able to get photos through a window & screen. I have boosted the color on these photos, let me know if you want the untouched photos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLecy 455 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 1. Black-chinned Hummingbird 2. Rufous/Allen's hummingbird. Likely RUHU. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew_Lyall 28 Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 Thanks for the replies 🙂 I was thinking, could Hummingbird #2 be an Anna's? I have seen them described as "chunky", which would explain the obvious size difference with the Black-chinned. And what about the "spots" on the front? Unfortunately, I have not seen the bird in question for 2 days, so I have only the 2 photos previously posted and the one below... Thanks again, everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hasan 104 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The photos leave a lot to be desired and I wouldn't call it solely on these, but I see no reason the second bird isn't a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. I initially thought it was a selasphorus, but I now see how it could easily be a RTHU. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
