Connor Cochrane Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) 1. Red-breasted Sapsucker 2. Hermit Thrush 3. Any other photos? Looks a lot like Costa's, but it seems early for them in Alameda. Where exactly was this?

Hasan Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The hummingbird is an Anna's- a great example of why gorget color is deceiving. The key here is to notice the gorget shape and the breast/belly color- Costa's should be noticeably whiter than this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
