Will be on hummingbirds for a while. They are a fascinating, specialized family of birds (Family Trochiidae) with 15 species in North America and 363! species overall in the Americas and Caribbean - many with very narrow ranges. 112 overall genera, again, many highly restricted, and a huge range in size from the Bee Hummingbird - the smallest bird in the world weighing in at 2 grams, to the largest the Giant Hummingbird of Patagonia, weighing in at up to 22 grams.

The US is dominated by 2 species - Ruby-throated in the east and Black-Chinned in the West and SW. Both are in the Genus Archilochus.

I have always been fascinated with them from the long ago till now - they bring joy; and the study necessary to understand them keeps me away from the news.
