I would like to make a donation to help support your cause in order to save these and other amazing hummingbirds. How can I do that? I also would like to learn about your organization that helps these hummingbirds and to protect their habitats from destructive developments?

I would LOVE to spend a bunch of quality time with the Ruby-topaz! Hopefully someday I will.

Awesome bird!! Thank you for going and filming and then sharing with us!!

That Ruby Topaz is a stunner!! The swallow tail was pretty cool too! I’m going to add this to places to visit in Brazil!

[@JohnMichaelson]

if the Ruby Topaz isn't the official state or local bird somewhere in its range, it sure should be!

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I definitely agree! Could you imagine such a creature landing on my balcony??? LOL

[@id10t98]

Sometimes I think this is all a dream when I see such beautiful things!❤

[@tuff-duty]

stay happy!

[@betterbirders]

What an incredible bird! Great pictures too.

[@levans3447]

Oh i wish that little guy would show up at my feeder. How sweet .

[@ivymoss4965]

Stunning and such a short bill 🧡❤ What were those cactus looking flowers the Ruby Topaz was feeding on? They looked like sea anemone, lol.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Yes they were cactus flowers!

[@agyvonne]

My God - how gorgeous!! Thank you !

[@SugarDad1]

For those curious the "ABC" islands are comprised of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao. A few years ago-prior to filming hummingbirds-I lived on Curacao for 6 months, then 6 months on Aruba the following year. If anyone is going to Aruba and would like a pointer on where to potentially see the Ruby-topaz, reach out to me.

[@t.rexroadtrip3041]

Exciting! I will be in Curaçao in a few weeks with intentions toward the Ruby Topaz as well. My number is quite a bit lower, of course. If I am lucky, it will be number 15 or 16, depending on which of the two species I see first. 242 is more like distant goals. :)

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Keep at it!

[@roygbiv5164]

While I realize people need to make a living, the deforestation shown in this video is quite frankly, heartbreaking.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

All of Brazil is being torn up for sugar cane, coffee beans and other agricultural products.

[@valterzc8187]

That region is naturaly like a Savanah

[@SugarDad1]

Yes heartbreaking and unfortunately all too common around the world. Even in countries like the US and Canada that often fancies themselves "advanced" logging is still at a fever pitch today.
