bpresby Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Both take last night in Southern California. Looking for confirmation as I think I've figured these two out. 1) Yellow-rumped Warbler. These always confuse me, but I think it is the male/female breeding/non-breeding that I struggled with. 2) Not as sure, but I believe it is a Calliope Hummingbird. wingtips reach tail, buffy below/sides. As always, thank you for your help! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpresby Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 thank you. For number 2, are you saying a rufous/allen's hybrid or a rufous or allen's? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Rufous or Allen's. It's impossible to tell which one unless you have spread tail pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpresby Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 That is what I thought and also what I read in my identification book. Hummingbirds are difficult for me, even the males. Thank you for your help! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
