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).
Colorado Springs, CO - I know there are hummingbirds returning to our area now, but we had a little snow overnight and it has been fairly chilly this week. I wonder if they are rethinking their travel plans?

I couldn't resist the opportunity to try and capture a hummingbird in flight whilst in St Lucia. However with so many plants in bloom and the speed with which these small birds travel it wasn't easy. This shot taken early in the morning of a female Antillean Crested Hummingbird was the best I could manage.
This hummingbird breeds from east-central Mexico, through Central America and Colombia, east to western Venezuela and south through western Ecuador to near the border with Peru.
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.
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 don't like to photograph hummingbirds at the feeder but I liked the lighting on this bird. They didn't give me any other opportunities. Photographed this evening just before sundown. They landed within arms length after after I put my camera aside and after it was almost dark on a perch where I wanted to photograph them. Maybe another day. IMG_4265
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.
To jest taki motylek / ćma: Furczak gołąbek (polski koliber) - Macroglossum stellatarum Trochę trudny do sfotografowania ostrego :-) / The hummingbird hawk-moth is a species of moth.
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!
Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) on an acreage W of Duncan on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This was my first attempt at a flying hummingbird and I quickly realized that a shutter speed of 200 is not great. I guess you have to try once then learn from it.

Time to fulfill my hummingbird addiction. I saw lots of little Anna's hummingbirds this weekend, but none of my shots were completely spectacular. This is from the archives, a male broad-billed hummingbird in the Hummingbird aviary, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
Obviously, not the best of lighting with him back lit, but bokeh's rather nice, I think. ;-)
