How many hummingbird species have you seen? (2 Viewers)

[dantheman]

So not a hummingbird hawkmoth then Danthe on the high street...?

No, it had 4 wheels ... ugly big thing. Mind you the Hummingbird Hawkmoth in Falmouth Asda back in January was probably even more out of place ...

My (proper) list -

Anna's Hummingbird
Black-chinned Hummingbird
Blue-throated Hummingbird
Broad-billed Hummingbird
Broad-tailed Hummingbird
Magnificent Hummingbird
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Rufous Hummingbird

[Jon Turner]

26, as a taster, love to get to Central America and nab a few more.....

Jon

 

[Chris D]

about 70. will try harder for the australian one this summer..

 

[Larry Lade]

Well, it been almost a year since anyone has posted on this hummingbird thread! Perhaps someone will get it going again before too much longer.

Truly a great order of birds to observe!

 

[birding maniac]

1- Rufous

 

[Jeff Hopkins]

126 for me now. Seen in USA, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala, Belize, Jamaica, and the Leeward Is.

 

[GMK]

Following IOC, and despite that Trochilidae are far from my favourite bird family, a grand total of 278 species to date, with some work still to do in Colombia and Peru in particular (but a few potential splits well in the bag). Genera like Amazilia generally leave me cold, but the good ones are indeed very good. Top 'uns include either of the "real" topaz species, Snowcap, Marvelous Spatuletail, Fiery-tailed Awlbill (hell, just the name is crazy, in fact the name is crazier than the bird), Velvet-purple Coronet, Short-crested Coquette (more for the place than the bird, which in truth is no better than any other Lophornis), Buff-tailed Sicklebill, Shining Sunbeam, Horned Sungem, and so on. Oh, and I can't not mention Hooded Visorbearer; was great to see it again last month.

 

[Larry Sweetland]

a grand total of 278 species to date,

Mindblowing!!:eek!:

 

[jc122463]

I'm at 96 species a the moment. Unfortunately I haven't had a new one since '07. I think I'll have to plan another trip down to South America soon!

 

[csanchez7]

I have 103 species on my hummingbird list, mostly thanks to a 2 1/2 month backpacking trip through Ecuador with about three dozen from elsewhere, including Costa Rica, USA, California, Florida, and Louisiana. Hope to pick up about half a dozen more in May in Arizona.
