    You nailed the hummingbirds, Armando. #4 is pretty special! Don't know what the last bird is, but it has some great color and patterns. Wonder if it isn't some kind of tanager?

    Thanks Bryan, I think you are right, after Googling tanager, I found some images and it does seem like a western tanager

    Great images of the Hummingbirds! The hummingbird image at the top looks kinda like a Broad-billed Hummingbird. I consulted several of my reference books and I beilieve that the last bird is a Streak-backed Oriole and not a Tananger?

    Beautiful shots, Armando! I particularly like #3 and that last one of the Oriole. Gorgeous colors in that one.
