Hummingbirds in California
The existing state species guide lists Anna's, Allen's, Rufous, Black-chinned, Costa's, and Calliope Hummingbird. Statewide occurrence is not a guarantee of a sighting in any particular city.
When to expect them
The state migration guide gives typical arrival as Year-round (south) – March (north) and departure as Resident populations do not leave. Anna's Hummingbirds are resident, so feeders matter in winter too.
