Species of Hummingbirds in
New England

This list contains the species of hummingbirds sighted in "New England".

It is arranged in alphabetical order rather than frequency of sightings.

In birding terms, when someone experiences a sighting of a particular bird for the first time it is called spotting "A LIFE BIRD".

Some sightings can be very rare and exciting to see.

This means that it is a privilege to see a particular bird in this unusual location.

Most likely, this will be a one time only sighting.

Birdwatchers say, "it’s like winning the lottery".

How often, can you expect that kind of excitement?

The Ruby-throated hummingbird is the most common in New England.

An ornithologist was not involved in the creation of this list.

It is better suited for your personal use.

It is not intended to be used for scientific research of any kind.

Of course, we would welcome input from any ornithologist interested in contributing.

After all, we enjoy learning all we can about this amazing bird.

We would also love to hear from all of our visitors about any hummingbird sightings, rare or otherwise.
