Hummingbirds 

Hummingbirds are found only in the New World, that is, North America, Central America, and South America. There are roughly 340 species of hummingbirds known to science and about 23 have been found in the United States. Hummingbirds have been called flying jewels, and that name is often appropriate. In this section I will post a number of photos of various hummingbird species from various locations in the new world. Hope you enjoy them. Please be patient as I add more photos. Thanks.
