Species: Anna’s Hummingbird
Most recent capture date: 1/08/2022
Age: Less than one month old
Sex: male
Notes: We know that Anna’s Hummingbirds can nest in the winter in California, but it was still a bit of a shock to catch this brand-new hummingbird, probably just a few days out of the nest. He was still growing in all of his flight feathers, and his bill was extremely short and covered in the tiny grooves (“striations”) that distinguish a juvenile bill. At this age his mother will still be feeding him.
