This little guy was really working these flowers at Pt Loma earlier this week. You can see a hint of the pink color of his gorget in one of the pics. Note that in the first picture, he is gripping a lower blossom with his impossibly tiny feet. Anna's Hummingbirds are very common here.

Ruby-crowned kinglet

I've checked carefully and consulted with the San Diego bird list experts and this bird is a ruby crowned kinglet. The only other possibility is Hutton's Vireo, but the beak shape and leg color are wrong. I was lucky to get such a complete close up as these birds don't stay still for long and are generally in shrubbery.
