| I have been trying it seems for ages to ID these hummingbirds that are regular visitors to my garden, in Costa Rica. They are one of the 7 species that regularly feed from my garden flowers. It is a small hummer about 2".
Here are many cropped photos of these tiny jewels. Since there are two different birds I presume there are both male & female. |

| Thanks for the link! I used to post there, then lost the info when my computer went down. I 'think' I have the answer to the ID. It seems to be a female 'Salvin's emerald' hummingbird. Although, in the in my batch of photos there may be another species that accounts for the 'blotches' on the throat. So maybe I have more than the 7 species I thought I have! |
