Best is you make too separate posts/spottings and add the name to each spot. You might have to delete one and upload it again. With the ID of the second one (in the trees not in the nest) I am not sure.

I looked at the pics, im pretty sure is that one.So i should leave that name and erase the common name of Mellsisuga helenae?
bayucca
#1 might be Amazilia tzacatl.

Thanks you! i just noticed my mistake Ashish. Bayucca,:then which one is it?
bayucca
I think there might be 2 different species. Could that be? If yes, #1 might be Amazilia tzacatl, Rufous-tailed Hummingbird.

Hi ID must be Bee Hummingbird or Zunzuncito.... apart from Binomial name... This is one of most cute bird... Nice work and thanks for sharing..!!
