Unfortunately, I did not get a good look at the underparts. These birds only ever made the chipping sounds, never any of the other vocalizations that would have made them easily identifiable as Anna's. At other times I did hear several Anna's on the hike, doing the chirp at the end of their dive and the "scolding" noise that they commonly make. > They are very rare.
