2 and 6 are white-necked jacobin, 3, 4 are Mangos (Green-throated? no relevant book at the moment) and I believe 1 is Rufous-tailed. No guess on 5.

I actually came back to this thread and was surprised to see that I had not commented on how amazing these photos are, because I could have sworn I *did*. I must have just been thinking about it really hard, haha!

I think the people that *REALLY* appreciate a beautiful photo on this site are usually looking in the gallery, and these aren't in there

Locations are always very important. Here are my takes on this:

1 Cinnamon Hummingbird
2 White-necked Jacobin male
3 Green-breasted Mango fem
4 Mango male
5 I feel it's a Canivet's Emerald but if all that blue is for real I guess it could well be a Crowned Woodnymph.
6 Another male Jacobin

Listen. Brilliant photos. What lens did you use and what distance were you from the hammers.

I'm stunned by the detail in shot of the male mango. That's just amazing!

I use Canon 1dx/1dx MII cameras and 300mm f/2.8 IS lens. Shutter speed 1/8000 sec.
I was approximately 3 m away of the birds. The hammers are not so shy.
