Click on a country or island below for a complete list of hummingbird species found there. The number of species is in parentheses after each location. Locations NOT listed do not have hummingbirds, even in migration. (Hummingbirds are found ONLY in the Western Hemisphere; in general, the number of species increases as you move toward the equator.)

Back to Other Hummingbird Species Page

NOTE: Although Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are the primary focus of "Operation RubyThroat: The Hummingbird Project", we are also interested in other hummingbird species--especially vagrants that appear in winter (mid-October through mid-March) in the eastern U.S. If you know of a wintering hummingbird east of the Mississippi, please report it to the Research Department at Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History. We will contact a local hummingbird bander about capturing the bird, identifying and banding it, and releasing it unharmed.
