  1. There is a wiki page for this species and the information from it was uploaded automatically by the system, there was no need for an ID to be created. I used Costa's hummingbird to try it and it worked, but in case of a problem with the common name the best solution is to use the scientific name. In this case it is Calypte costae and you can find it on the wiki page. Posted 10 years ago
  2. It looks like its hummingbird day! Thank you so much for sharing these beauties. Posted 10 years ago
  3. I think I misidentified this one. I think it's a Black-Chinned Hummingbird, not a Costa's. Anybody concur? How do I go about correcting it? Posted 10 years ago
