floraphile 69 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hi-- I have 2 pics of hummingbirds for ID. I have included the info I used to ID & would very much appreciate feedback & steps you go through to get to ID. Thanks! #1 ?Ruby Throat-- was taken in coastal Alabama in March 2018. Although you can't see the red, I ID'd it as a Ruby Throat, due to location (other hummer species are only rarely seen here) & wings not extending past tail #2 ?Black Chinned--Phoenix, AZ May 2017; long bill, wings tips same length as tail. Both birds seem to have the white spot behind the eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akandula 2,786 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I would say that you are correct about both of your IDs. Also note that Black-chinned have relatively long, droopy bills. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
