CLOSED: Daughter's Hummingbird

My daughter has this little lady nesting outside her apartment door in Los Angeles, Ca.

Anna's maybe???

Here is a shot of the nest. More pictures as the eggs hatch. She has not seen the male around so it is a mystery to us.

Your thought that it is an Anna's Hummingbird is correct. Not a Selasphorous, as there is no sign of buff on the bird. And not a Costa's or Black-chinned as this female has some color to her throat. As for the male, he mates with the female and then has no more responsibility for the nest or rearing of the young.

Lucky You! How fun to watch those miniatures.
Please post more pics when they hatch.

MsMaati - sweet. I'm looking to forward to following this thread. I bookmarked it.

Baby bird number one emerges today. So tiny.

Here is another shot of her on the nest again. She is so proud, lol. My daughter said she lets them take pictures and is not at all afraid of them. All of the neighbors are keeping their kitty cats indoors for the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Greg, I was looking at the hummer on a web site and it is very hard to tell. Glad I guessed right.

I am marking this as solved and posting updates of the baby birds on the Hummingbird forum. Thanks again
