Hummingbirds

There are seven different types of Hummingbirds known from KMHRP. Surely others have occurred undetected ... Only two of these are common and expected, regular, and resident.

That is, 99+% of the hummers there are either Allen's, or Anna's, the two locally abundant resident hummingbirds. Eucalyptus and Bottlebrush are both good for them, as are willow riparian edge, and often you can even find them flycatching in the tules.

If it shows much rufous, or rusty color, it is an Allen's. If it is all green without rufous or rusty, it is probably an Anna's.

A few pairs of Black-chinned Hummingbirds still nest in the willow riparian, and sometimes, Costa's has nested too (rarely).
