Was a signal that the feeder was empty. They have several ways of bringing that to your attention. Clever critters.

It was just letting you know that you were slacking on the job!

All the birds in the Loreto photographs are either Costa's or Xantu's. In San Diego it's almost all Anna's with some Black-Chinned, Allen's, Rufous and Costa's.

I'm curious how far south you have to go before you stop seeing Anna's and start seeing Xantu's. I bet the Xantu's are futher north on the Sea of Cortez side.

If anyone is in Bahia de Los Angeles or San Quintin and feels like feeding hummingbirds I would love a photo showing who exactly shows up at your feeder!

We know for sure it's mostly Xantu's in Loreto, and mostly Anna's in TJ, but what about in between!

Freds, mostly Freds, with a few Lucys thrown in the mix.

I bet if you stuck a hummingbird feeder anywhere near Bahia de Los Angeles, the mix of birds would look pretty much the same as in Loreto. I bet if you put a feeder out near San Quintin, the mix of birds would look the same as in San Diego more or less. No one I know has ever tried this so I'm just guessing at this point, but I'm curious to know for sure.
