So many gorgeous hummingbirds! The Golden-tailed Sapphire, Gould's Jewelfront, Grey-breasted Sabrewing, to name a few, are stunning and the spotted and speckled hummers are adorable! What a great tip you shared for photographing hummingbirds, your photos are incredibly beautiful!

Wow! Beautiful shots Carole

What amazing photos you got of all those little jewels. I love the last photo of the Koepke's Hermit and the Violet Headed. Of course the photo of the birds wings matching the flowers was amazing. Doping the flowers, wow. I feel like I have just learned a trade secret. Sure made for some awesome photos.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Thank you, Ginger. Flower-doping is quite common. Sometimes it is the only way you can get them to come to flowers when there are a lot of feeders around!

Great video, beautiful hummingbirds and, of course, your usual enthusiasm for hummingbirds that makes these videos so enjoyable. Loved your fun fact about how to get great shots of the birds.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Thanks, Jim. That is a secret we would use again!

PERÚ 🇵🇪🔥 is the Country with the most species of birds seen and registered. Glory of diversity.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

There are some amazing species there. There are seven endemic ones I need to find!

Again, words are superfluous. All I can do is thank you 🙏🏼 Ever tried a monopod?🤔✌️

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I have tried tripods and monopods. They just get in my way. I need to move that camera fast! Fortunately I now have the 500mm f/5.6 PF lens which is so light it is hard to believe! New technology allowed them to remove a lot of glass.

What cuties. So much to see & do. How do they pick what to call them? Some are easy to understand why but not all.

What best sound too attract hummingbirds

[@HummingbirdSpot]

They aren't attracted by sound unless it is a sound the male is making during a mating display. They are attracted by food.

The Amazillia hummingbird is it named after the region/forest?
