Hummingbird Species
The menu above will load a separate page here for each of the seventeen
species of hummingbirds that breed in North America. Each page features
photos of the adult male (left) and adult female (right), a physical
description, and additional info about that species. Where available,
pages offer links to the Breeding Bird Survey WWW species account.
In addition, there's a listing by state/province, with links
back to the species pages.
For a list of hummingbird species worldwide, see this
page. (The actual number of species is in dispute between the
lumpers and the splitters.)

Note: if you're having trouble identifying a small flying creature,
especially if it has red or yellow near its tail, take a look at Moths
of the United States or The
Butterfly WebSite. Here's a photo of one species of "hummingbird
moth," by Steve Sherick.
Or see this 804k QuickTime movie by
Tim Doyle. |

If it has antennae on its head, it's a moth for sure. Unless it's
one of these... |
