Observation details

EDIT January 2021, Sheri Williamson provided feedback indicating this is within the range of variation of Anna's Hummingbird: diagnostic short, angular greater secondary coverts, robust, straight bill, extensively gorget pattern. Original field notes when submitted as Costa's Hummingbird: Female type bird observed at close range here at approximately 530pm: 40.629286,-124.278843. Small hummingbird with short beak, the primaries extended just past the end of the tail. Each individual primary's shape was sharply pointed. Observed along margin of the woods at the above coordinates and it appeared to be sunning. There are some small white flowers in the ditch here, but I'm not sure they will be enough to keep the bird in this area. Last seen flying east back into the wooded habitat toward the Eel River. Unsure how likely this bird is to stick around.
