Hi folks, An apparent Anna's Hummingbird was photographed at a feeding station in Orleans County this morning (read post below). Thanks to Celeste Morien’s photos and the input of Jim Pawlicki, who has lots of recent experience with the species in Southern California, and Andy Guthrie, we believe it is likely to be this species, probably a young female. However, we welcome comments from others who have good experience with Anna's and other western hummers, such as Costa's.
Photos are in Celeste Morien's eBird checklist: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S40026549 Good birding!

Hello Birding Friends, This morning about 8:00, a hummingbird appeared at our backyard feeder. Thinking it wasn’t a Rufous I didn’t consider any other possibilities than Ruby-throated. I got decent photos of the bird about 8:40. Well, about two hours later, Jim Pawlicki saw my photos and said it was an ANNA’S HUMMINGBIRD! Jim, Andy and Willie have been here and carefully checked the photos on the computer and waited for the bird but it has not shown. They’ve left now. I am going to keep a vigil here especially towards evening and early tomorrow morning. If the bird shows I will immediately get the word out. It’s so disappointing that it has not shown! I am happy to have visitors but I’d hate to have people driving long distances only to be disappointed.
