<\/a><\/p>\n

Feathers on Friday! While digiscoping shore birds at Famosa Slough in San Diego a few weeks ago, there were several Black-chinned Hummingbirds patrolling the margins. That is, in my very limited experience, somewhat odd, in that, until then, every hummingbird I have ever seen in San Diego has been an Anna\u2019s. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is likely a separate individual, since he was well around the corner and down the long narrow south arm of the Slough, but I can not be sure. Black-chinned Hummers are aggressive and protective. One could have decided he wanted the whole Slough to himself. Certainly both these birds show the same attitude\u2026or if it is a single bird, he certainly has enough attitude for two!<\/p>\n
