Mayhew 1947 Mar. 1 Anna's Hummingbird 1. Strawberry Canyon, U.C. Campus, Alameda Co., Calif. About 9:25 A.M. one individual was seen at the top of a dead cypress, giving his buzzing call. Each time he called, his very small tail would bob down under the body. about 9:45 A.M. a nest of this species was found near the cypress where the other specimen was found. The nest was in a branch on the north-west of a pine tree about 3' from the tip of the branch. The branch was about 30' above the ground. The nest was about 2" in diameter, and in not too protected a spot. The ? was on the nest at the time. at 2:15 P.M. a single ? was sitting quietly on the top branch of a small tree about 25 feet above the ground. The red forehead and green tail + back could be seen. He flew away for a few minutes, than returned, flipping his wings + tail nervously for several seconds after returning to his perch. He also uttered several high, grating notes upon returning to his perch. He turned his head from side to side very frequently. The throat and forehead looked black at certain angles, brilliant bronzy-red at other angles. There appeared to be a light patch directly below the eye & just behind the spot where the bronzy-red ends. There is also a small white spot just below the throat & a small white patch near the bend of the wing.
