Thanks for telling me that! That is good to know... Thanks so much! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aveschapines Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 And the second ones are definitely not Magnificent (now Rivoli's) hummingbirds; way too small, the white "ears", and giss are all inconsistent. But I don't have experience with Costa Rican hummers or the species proposed so not able to help with the IDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Magnificent Hummingbirds Additionally, note that Magnificent Hummingbird no longer exists. In 2017 it was split into to seperate species; Rivolis Hummingbird (northern) and Talamanca Hummingbird (southern). The birds in the second pic are not Talamanca Hummingbirds, they are Purple-throated Mountain Gems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
