Magnificent Hummingbird
Eugenes fulgens
The admirable hummingbird or Talamanca hummingbird (Eugenes spectabilis) is a large hummingbird. Some taxonomic authorities, such as the International Ornithological Committee, split the magnificent hummingbird into two species, in which case the nominate fulgens is rename Rivoli's hummingbird, and spectabilis is named the admirable hummingbird. Other taxonomic authorities have not recognized the split. The admirable hummingbird's range is Costa Rica to Panama.
Change the name of the monotypic group Eugenes fulgens fulgens from Magnificent Hummingbird (Northern) to Magnificent Hummingbird (Rivoli’s).
Change the name of the monotypic group Eugenes fulgens spectabilis from Magnificent Hummingbird (Costa Rican) to Magnificent Hummingbird (Admirable).

This hummingbird was run off by 2 others shortly after this was snapped out the window...nothing unusual about that.
We have started to see them over the past week or so.
Sue put up some newly acquired feeders today which now total 4. We found a super buy on them this morning at the local TSC. (Tractor Supply Store Canada)
They were quickly pressed into use.
Photographing hummingbirds in the shade, use single focus point and place on the eye, find bird that will stay in one place for a second or two, use camera with eight fps or faster, use a fast lens with a close focus distance, I use an extension tube to get down to eight feet from ten.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird.... I think this maybe a juvie. I've had a little time to sit out with these guys and observe them. There is 2 adult males, which I am very surprised. I have never seen 2 males in our yard at once. I put out 3 feeders this year and put them all very far apart. There is also a female and at least one juvie that I have seen so far.
I think this may be a young bird. Anyhow, it stayed around and gave me several nice shots, unlike the Rufous who just buzzed by and chased another hummingbird away, then disappeared.
This tiny hummingbird had recently fledged this past summer and posed for a split second before defending it's new territory from other juveniles and even some adults (they are born fighting).

In bright sun the Hummingbird Clearwing Moth glows a pretty red. Most likely this is the result of thin film interference,. The wings move so fast that only a rapid shutter can stop them in mid flight. We have other sphingidae but they are very rare. I especially would love to see the white lined sphinx again.
We usually have a few hummers every year...this year it seems we only have one skittish female that visits here and there. Yesterday I took my camera out in the backyard to have near me in the event she showed while we were eating lunch...much to my surprise, she made my day with a visit to the lantana hanging basket and also to my crocosomia lucifer.
Well my trip ended up being cancelled, instead I ended up in emergency surgery to have my appendics removed on Tuesday night, returned home yesterday...
These hummingbirds were at a friends, maybe 30 to 40 of them!!
Will visit as often as my energy level allows!
