Several years ago, we had an Anna's that had lost or had molted a wing primary feather.
We always knew when "Buzz" flew in.

Except that a neighbor of ours, years ago, had what was very likely a Broad-tailed Hummer, as Tom describes, at her feeder.

It's possible. A photo or even a sound recording would be interesting.

Are you questioning whether it's an Anna's? Your description matches the Anna's we have here in Seahurst (Burien,WA). They definitely 'hum' when they fly by. Broad-Tailed hummingbirds make a stronger, metallic 'whirr' and look like a larger Anna's with a white breast and green crown, but they typically stay in the Nevada-Utah-Colorado-Arizona-New Mexico region.

We have what we believe is an Anna hummingbird who visits our feeder. The sound during flight is like a low pitched thrumming (at first we thought it was a brush cutter). Makes us think of the sound of cards clattering against the spokes of a bicycle wheel when we were kids. It is a dark emerald colored (though part of its back seems almost black), short beak and tail. We live in Port Orchard. Thoughts? Thanks -; Jim and Rae Hight
