In the past I’ve had a problem with the Rufous-tailed Hummingbirds chasing off any other hummingbirds, but so far the Canivet’s Emerald, Cynanthus canivetii (my gallery link) have made themselves at home and I see them on my Porter Weeds almost as much as the Rufous-tailed. But the Blue-vented seem to have gone somewhere else again. Maybe I will refill the feeders more often! 🙂 Here’s three shots of the female in addition to the feature photo above. The male doesn’t have the white eyebrow and chest and thus I probably call some of them Rufous-tail or Blue-vented, which are all three similar males.
Read about them on eBird.
¡Pura Vida!
