Hummingbird Gallery

My love of hummingbirds began in 1992 on our first trip to SE Arizona, where we saw thirteen species. The fascination with these little gems only intensified when we started birding internationally in 2019. The following photos were taken in the US, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. Fortunately, most species visit feeding stations, making photography much easier. However, many species ignore feeders and have to be found on their favorite flowers or randomly perched.
