There must be something in the air about hummingbirds. Wy wife subscribes to a leatherbound version of the Peterson Guides, and we recently got a guidebooke devoted entirely to hummingbirds.

After seeing half a dozen of the critters we looked them up and discovered the same thing you did. Big disappointment.

As far as I could tell without reading the entire book, the only hummingbird found in the southeast is the ruby-throated. The southwest and Mexico have lots.

"the only hummingbird found in the southeast is the ruby-throated. "

No, no. There are more varieties here than the book indicates. I've seen them, I just can't name'm.
