Corey Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Southern Nevada today. Very cloudy day so lightened the photos. Running the photos thru the Merlin bird ID app gives a result of calliope, which is possible but very rare here. Other hummingbirds I saw today were black chinned, Anna's, and Costa's. Thanks!

AlexHenry Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Bill and tail look too long for Calliope and overall shape is not as compact or hunched up as I would expect. Don’t see any peachy wash in flanks either. I don’t think this is Calliope. I don’t think it’s Anna’s either. I like Black-chinned or Costa’s here but not sure. Maybe leaning Black-chinned due to shape. Wait for other responses. Edited April 6, 2020 by AlexHenry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darknight Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I concur, leaning towards Black-chinned, but not sure if Costa's can be ruled out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
