Hummingbirds of Peru

Hummingbirds represent the second largest bird family in the world, Trochilidae, behind only the western hemisphere flycatchers of Tyrannidae. It's always fun to watch hummingbirds in North America, but we are limited to about a dozen species. The center of hummingbird diversity lies in the Peruvian Andes.

Check out this photo gallery of hummingbirds from Peru, where single feeding stations can host up to 25 species!
