And you've already seen 137 of them - fascinating and also a bit enviable, sigh! In my current post I share my comparatively low "yield" of hummingbird sightings. Maybe you can tell me what kind they are? I had no idea they were related to swifts, but your explanation makes sense. And I had no idea that there were different types of swifts. I'm learning a lot here with you. One thing, however, I knew beforehand: that it is almost impossible to take photos of swifts in flight ;-DD (I tried that on Mallorca - with VERY little success - you will see photos of it, I think next week... Luckily I was able to catch other birds with the camera.) <br />But today, as I said, I show a few hummingbirds and a few other birds that fit the topic of the blogparade "tropical-exotic" ;-)<br />All the best from Austria<br />Traude<br />https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2022/08/blogparade-tropisch-exotisch-u30blogger.html<br />PS: I'm glad you could use the tip because of the can donations!Rostrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901976103765887360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-15104817092536663762022-08-10T11:48:52.630-04:002022-08-10T11:48:52.630-04:00I have never seen a hummingbird (or a swift, for t...I have never seen a hummingbird (or a swift, for that matter), even though I bought a hummingbird feeder and set it up in my garden. Sadly, none ever came. You are so lucky to have seen so many and so fortunate to be able to travel to where they live. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about these beautiful birds today, David.
