There are over 330 identified species of hummingbirds making them the second largest bird in the world. The problem with so many species is trying to identify them! 

I went to the Gamboa Rainforest Reserve near the Panama Canal in hopes of finding hummingbirds. I heard a familiar but unfamiliar sound—a hummingbird singing a different song. They were definitely chatty as they buzzed around the flowers of the Calliandra shrub. 

I bought a hummingbird book that contains every species, so I could try and identify them. This little guy is a rufous-tailed hummingbird. If I am wrong, please let me know! I have a few more hummingbirds to research.

Photographing birds was my first love until I found black bears, but I still love to photograph them.

Whenever I am in a foreign country, photographing birds is first on my list. My option to photograph black bears is put on hold unless I’m in North America, Canada or Mexico.

 When I was in Columbia, my eyes were peeled to find my feathered friends. At first, I went to the Aviario Nacional de Colombia where I found all kinds of amazing birds. Later in the day, I found hummingbirds in their natural environment. This rufous-tailed hummingbird is quite beautiful!
