Species of Hummingbirds West

By James & Ruth White

This is a list of species of hummingbirds West. That is, species of hummingbirds in the western states.

For convenience, they are listed in alphabetical order, not by frequency of sightings.

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

Some sightings can be rare.

It is exciting to see hummingbirds that are unusual for your location.

Do you have any hummingbird stories to share?

We would love to publish them on this website.
