[@nancyhomen9347]

I love them all. Thank you so very much for sharing your pictures and especially your trips to find these beautiful birds. I just love hummingbirds. I’ve been to the Hummingbird Festival in Sedona twice. I have also meet Sheri during a banding in Hereford, AZ. She’s a wonderful person. I would love to be able to do the trips you are doing. Unfortunately I will never be able to see the hummers as you are doing. Thank you again for sharing your gorgeous pictures. Nancy

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Thanks, Nancy! I went to the Sedona festival a few years back. If you were there, I was the one with the giant Hummingbird on my head!

[@patchouli8899]

I love any of the Coquettes, Carole, my favorites. The Shining Sunbeam and Snowcap are also precious, love the colors!

[@MEFbeelove]

Wow! Amazing! Can't choose a favorite, though the sunbeam combination of colors I've never seen before.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

All of the Sunbeams are like this. When I can get into Peru again I want to photograph the Purple-backed Sunbeam. It lives high in the Andes.

[@RosaHernandez-bh8jo]

I have always loved these magical birds. I have 2 that come every day to feed. Love to see them. I definitely love ❤️ your work, I get to learn about more then. I also love to your sweater. Thank you

[@peacenlovegirl1]

Marvelous and coquette 😍

[@neildavidson4115]

Hola Carol, I have recently come across these hummingbird videos and much enjoy them. I am currently the only guest at a hotel in Moyobamba and enjoyed a visit to waqanki only yesterday - with its usual tremendous attractions. Ok, my favourite (apart from the obvious spatuletail) possibly the bearded mountaineer seen in the sacred valley area... but its hard to choose really, isn't it. Keep those videos coming when you are able to 😊😊

[@HummingbirdSpot]

How lucky for you to be in Moyabamba! I wish I were there with you! That is so funny that you picked the Bearded Mountaineer. That is also my video editor's favorite and he was sorry I didn't pick it as one of the ten. You can see this beauty in my Peru video where I photographed this bird in Ollantaytambo.

[@maryscearce9002]

These are all such amazing birds. Thanks again for bringing them to us. My favorite is golden tailed sapphire.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

The Golden-tailed Sapphire is a beautiful hummingbird. I would drop dead if something like this showed up at my feeder. It is just stunning how colorful some of these hummingbirds are.

[@srfmkt2000]

Great list! The Marvelous Spatuletail is my favorite.. and I have the feeling that I will favorite it even more when I finally meet it in person

[@andreaskoss8045]

I love to watch these beautiful birds!! Thanks for your wonderful videos.

[@suzieq4007]

They are all just spectacular, hope you get back there sooner than later. Thanks for sharing this!

[@insolentstickleback3266]

All of those fancy little southern rascals are gorgeous, but my favorites are the ones outside my kitchen window. I have a group of Anna's, about 20 at this point, they bring something special to my life I love them : D

[@cmorrison3369]

Oh thank you, how beautiful they are! I look forward to your next video. I don't know that I can choose a favorite, love them all ❤

[@cobythebirdnerd3790]

Awesome video!

[@olsonlr]

Haven't seen many of those lovely creatures yet; but the one that I did see in Eastern Honduras was fairly large and had a long scissor tail. I thought it looked like something straight out of heaven!

[@amberjeppson7165]

my absolute favorite humming birds are the snowcap and the marvelous spatuleil

[@anntran3382]

Thank you for sharing. I’m going to Peru this coming Sunday and hope to find such the beautiful birds.

[@sumonkirwin7005]

I just found your video and I’m a fan already . Love it ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@redfeather1590]

I can't pick a favorite...They are all so beautiful ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing these videos and pictures! I stumbled across your channel the other day and have absolutely loved it! Hope you're doing well! Take care ❤️✌️🍀

[@Andre4Kristin12]

I love this EPIC QUEST you have set for yourself! Your videos are great! The Snowcaps and the Shining Sunbeam from this video are so beautiful. I pray that you are headed back to Brazil or going to Bolivia at some point. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the Horned Sungem to appear on your list. They look like little super heroes, don't they?

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I am going back to Brazil in August and the Horned Sungem is one of the targets for this trip!

[@Andre4Kristin12]

[@gilliantracy7991]

Fabulous video Carole! Guess my fave is the Rufous Crested Coquette. Just beautiful! Hope you get to take your trip soon!

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I have to trip to Ecuador slated for May, which was rescheduled from LAST May. I'm hoping this one will not be canceled.

[@88CuteCupcake]

I never knew that there are soooo much different types of hummingbirds. That is so amazing! I love how you discripe the different birds. Even if english isn´t my mothers language, I do understand you very well :) Thank you so much for sharing those wonderul pictures and information with us!

[@lvp6905]

Thank you! I’ve just now found your channel.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Welcome to the channel. Here you can travel with me to find wonderful hummingbirds!

[@lorimiller2664]

Beautiful!

[@MadameM.]

Carole, I just found your marvelous videos, and am hooked! I live in the mid-atlantic region, so a hummingbird sighting at my mother's house is a somewhat rare and joyous occasion! Seeing this list is extraordinary, and your photography is sublime. Favorite? All of them, but I'm partial to the Coquette. When you have all of your marvelous photographs, do you plan on publishing a book? If so, count me IN!

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Thank you for your kind words. Maybe there is a book in my future. I haven't really thought that far ahead. Maybe when I get them all!

[@Linkmohr12]

Such beautiful creatures. You have opened my eyes to some Hummingbirds I didn't know existed. Thank you! One thing I thought might be interesting for future reference, since you filmed them, I wonder if the sound of their flight is different between the types? Probably not, but you never know! Could you play the audio with the video occasionally? In Hummingbird season where I live, I like to listen to them as they fly around me to get to the plant I sit near when I read outside on the porch. They get pretty brave after awhile. The whirling of the wings right next to your ears, very loud for such a small creature, but unique as well. I thought the one with discs on the tail feathers took my vote, but they were all nice to enjoy watching. The plant was an Angel Leaf Begonia, FYI, they seemed to love it. And just the standard US Hummingbird of the Midwest as far as the type. Nothing at all exotic, as those you displayed. Thanks again!

[@pattih2827]

Thank you so much Carole for taking us with you. Please don’t make me pick a favorite, I love them all. I look forward to your next video.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Thanks, Patti. I hope to be able to get out there soon to capture more of these fabulous species for you!

[@lidasheppard4968]

Love your channel ❤️❤️❤️

[@bird.passion]

I love your top 10 picks. I knew who your #1 favorite was going to be! The Marvelous Spatuletail is the most spectacular hummingbird! The Rufous-crested Coquette would also be at the top on my list. 😍

[@HummingbirdSpot]

It is hard picking ten. There are so many spectacular species out there.

[@adolfobriceno1635]

AWESOME. Carole, I love your videos and photographs but that video of the courtship display of a male Marvelous Spatuletail Hummingbird was spectacular. Congrats. I have been photographing birds for about 15 years and always have it in my bucket list traveling to the Chachapoyas Region in Peru to photograph the Marvelous Spatuletail Hummingbird. Thanks for sharing your amazing photographs/videos and the wealth of knowledge that you have.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I feel a weird connection to the Marvelous Spatuletail hummingbird. I will be back to see it again.

[@adolfobriceno1635]

@@HummingbirdSpot Yes. I agree. It's spectacular

[@shaunphan9039]

Thank you. Love all of them esp. #1

[@lisawilson797]

The Shinning Sunbeam is definitely one of my favorites! The Marvelous Spatuletail is certainly beautiful too. Just curious if you've ever photographed the Fiery Throated and Rainbow Starfrontlet? I know they weren't on your list but I find them so beautiful as well.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

There are so many beautiful birds to choose from it is hard to pick ten. Unfortunately I went to Costa Rica during the one short season when the Fiery-throated disappears to feed on some special tree they like. Everyone sees TONS of them at Paraiso El Quetzal and the surrounding area, but when I was there.....none. I have to go back. I was supposed to be in the territory of the Rainbow Starfrontlet on the trip to Peru I was supposed to be on right now. But photographing that beauty will have to wait until next year. I am slated to go to Ecuador in May, but I am not sure if I am going south enough to find one on that trip.

[@jerulew3547]

@@HummingbirdSpot I would love to accompany you on a trip to one of these beautiful areas to see more of these birds in person if you have such trips are they online?

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@martinbrookes616]

You must include the Red-billed Streamertail from Jamaica - a stunningly coloured and elegant bird

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I will when I get to Jamaica to photograph it!

[@kimtran2420]

I like #10 and #7

[@drferry]

OK, I'll grant you the Spatuletail and the Coquette, but for my money it is the Velvet-Purple Coronet. It is very difficult to adequately photograph this bird, but I'm going to try again in May in Ecuador to capture its purple, black, rufous, and white. Other candidates include the two Topazes, the Empress Brilliant, the Violet-tailed Sylph, and the Peacock Coquette, which I have actually seen in eastern Venezuela.

[@jerulew3547]

All I can say, I know there is a God when I see these Marvelous birds. I simply love the Spatuletail with his dance , it's spectacular! Truly humbling.💖

[@kimtran2420]

My favorite hummingbird was marvelous spateltail

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Mine, too! I actually got tears in my eyes the first time I saw one in person.

[@kimtran2420]

Ms.Carol when will you be able to go back to Peru to see the marvelous spatuletail?

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I was supposed to be there in the beginning of January, but Peru made getting into the country difficult because of Covid. I am now planning to go back next January and will stay with the Spatuletail for three days on that trip.

[@nicksap3467]

Blue throated starfronlet, blue tufted starthroat, hyacinth visorbearer, purple velvet purple coronet, ruby topaz, crimson topaz, garnet throated hummingbird.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Yep, maybe I should do a 'Top Ten of the ones I have seen per year.

[@Gusttavopinto]

esplendido..

[@candeeclark5963]

Good list but I especially like Gould’s Inca.

[@wildflowersnhoney209]

I will go with you to hunt down hummingbirds! LOL.

[@naosoudessemundo5322]

Bom dia...✍️ Brazil🇧🇷

[@kellygarnet6329]

If I have to pick a favourite it would be the spatuletail but in reality I think they are all spectacular. The only species that comes to Ontario is the Ruby Throated.

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I love the Ruby-throateds. I don't get them in California - I had to travel to Texas to photograph them.

[@rolandocowo3478]

Do you have any pictures/video of hummingbirds found in Belize?

[@candeeclark5963]

What other video is the snow capped hummingbird on?

[@timjimconnolly7sda]

I have seen hummingbird the same for 24 years in Seattle. But. I moved to Auburn, Wa, I saw the hummingbird's neck changed the color first-time last year. then I looked up in Google that it said when you see that change color on the neck is male. I do not know that. a very cool bird......

[@HummingbirdSpot]

That is true! The males have brightly colored gorgets (throat feathers) that you only see when the light is right.

[@katherinemcintire2637]

I would love to go with you on some of these adventures to see these magnificent hummingbirds! Do you put together any trips?

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Sorry, I don't put together any trips. Maybe someday.

[@alnusypinus]

In particular; I love the Lucifer sheartail. I don't know who came up with the idea of ​​calling it "Colibrí horrible" (horrible hummingbird). By the way; I almost cried to think that you had managed to enter the dangerous (for criminal activity) territory of Lophornis brachylophus to film it. They are still there; let's hope they hold up. Of course: I have a lot of love for the Berillyne and White eared hummingbirds that visit my window every noon and sunsets. Greetings from Mexico City, "La mera tierra de Hitzilopochtli".

[@HummingbirdSpot]

I love the Lucifer Hummingbird, also. I have not yet managed to photograph the Short-crested Coquette, but I need to. That one is going to take a lot of planning, as are a couple of them in Venezuela and one in southwest Colombia where there is much cartel activity. I will photograph these birds, but it will take a lot of planning. I want to photograph all hummingbird species, but I don't want to get shot (or worse) over it.
