Hummingbird Garden in Bolivia Attracts 18 Species

We visited El Refugio de Colibries in Samaipata, Bolivia, the only dedicated hummingbird garden in the country. Saúl Arias and Elva Vallejos started with a few hummingbird feeders and ended up converting a cow pasture into a wild garden paradise for hummingbirds. We also spent a night in Refugio de los Volcanes, a little hideaway with stunning views.

I apologize that I accidentally referred to the beautiful Fork-tailed Woonymph as a Crowned Woodnymph in the video. Mea culpa!

[@carolmackowiak752]

No worries, Carol! Maybe your ‘faux pas’ was due to the time change? But more likely, it was due to that long, winding & “wicked ride’ through the wilderness! 😝

[@mobetta3456]

Just so long as you put up with my ID booboos. I don't begin to pretend I can remember all the bird names. I'm almost 72 years old.

[@amy5714]

Thank you for the video. My father lived in that area for years and I am sure he would have loved your beautiful videos. You are so generous to share your adventures with us Carole. Thank you.

[@SHarrisPhotography]

Good stuff as always team! Great shot of that Hermit Carole.

[@CherylPix62]

Father God created so much beauty that surrounds us!❤

[@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778]

You are a brave lady. Thanks for all the great videos.

[@susanleezer182]

Wow that last hummingbird was a rainbow colors, beautiful! Thank you Carol. This was an amazing trip😊😊😊😊😊❤

[@SallyCoucke]

Love it! Thank you for sharing.

[@sandipansengupta4771]

Carol after photographing every species I hope you publish a book about your journey of photographing every Hummingbird
That would be epic

[@MaryW2904]

God made such beautiful birds and beautiful, majestic mountains and valleys! Carole, thank you for sharing your beautiful videos with us! God bless you!

[@SugarDad1]

Bolivia looks fantastic, I'm looking forward to visiting! I do wish Bolivia allowed more than a 30 day stay visa though.

[@nancyleigh8016]

It's amazing to see that refuge now after the property was a cow pasture and all they accomplished in those years! Bravo!! These are the humans we need more of on our planet. THEY CARE, just like you do Carole.
We can't wait for your next video, and thank you for sharing your photos with us all. You have a great camera!

Wish we had humming birds in the UK.

[@Emiliapocalypse]

No hummingbirds in the UK? I didn’t know that, what a shame 😢

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Hummingbirds are only in the Americas: North, Central and South. There aren't even any in Hawaii.

[@carolmackowiak752]

I can see why the hummers all migrate South! They’ve got beautiful resorts (refuges) where any smart bird would want to spend time! Thank you, Carol for sharing your visit there.

[@lorettataylor3374]

They surely are a beautiful small bird. I sure do miss them this time of year.❤️

[@HummingbirdSpot]

The drone pilot is steadily improving, especially appreciated the reverse fly through shot of the three of you standing at your tripods.😍

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

[@SugarDad1]

Awesome video Carole! Red tailed comets on this vist I hope!?

[@MamaTtoB-P]

I didn't see any ofy little friends today, I live in Houston Texas, I wonder if they have left , it's still really nice here???

[@AniFam]

Wow, Crowned Woodnymph has beautiful feathers~💞
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗

[@HummingbirdSpot]

Unfortunately I made a mistake in the video. That hummer is a Fork-tailed Woodnymph not a Crowned Woodnymph. They look VERY similar!

[@RaptorGirlkathy]

Love your vids; feel like I'm there! Awesome Hummingbirds 😍 and ❤ story! That sanctuary is heavenly. Great photos, thanks 😊

[@cyndiroutledge5018]
