Correction on hummingbird

The picture I posted below of the bird I saved is of a Ruby-Throated Hummingbird which doesn’t even live in my area! The hummingbird's we have in this area, and the one which I saved, is an Anna’s Hummingbird. Here is a picture of a male Anna’s:

And a picture of a female, which is the bird I ‘saved’:

She looked exactly like this little cutie! I get both male and female hummingbirds at my feeder, and in fact I'm pretty sure one of the most frequent is the saved one, which looked a little worse for the wear at first but seems quite healthy and eats a lot of nectar!
