According to hummingbirds.net, Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) is the most common hummingbird in southern California, and one of only three species that are permanent residents of the US or Canada.With average weight of 4 to 4.3 g, Anna's is the largest hummingbird seen on the west coast. This one is most likely a juvenile.The shot was a very lucky one because, somehow, my camera setting was on ISO 1600 when the hummingbird appeared. Unfortunately, it took me a few days to figure out why most of my pictures were coming out so washed out.

Wow, that was lucky! Those little guys are not easy to catch!!
1600 iso: were you on automatic setting?
Same mistake, usually after some shot in the dark... Nice picture anyway.
That IS one big hummingbird, and you were fast. I have something similar here
You're lucky you even spied this hummer as it almost blends into the background. Thanks for all your recent comments. Besides the bees, did your grandmother raise show geese by any chance too?
They look so sweet, but hummingbird are tough little guys and highly territorial.
Wow stunning !
Wow! Beautiful! I haven't seen such bird yet!
Love it! Lucky indeed!
