Purple-throated Carib (Eulampis jugularis)

Order: Apodiformes according to most sources, but Caprimulgiformes according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Family: Trochilidae (Hummingbirds)

Unlike many hummingbirds, the purple-throated carib is monomorphic. However, females have a slightly more downcurved bill.

adhd is so funny it's like being possessed but with myself

me, desperately: can we please get something done?!

my inner demon, who is also me: IF YOU LIKE PIÑA COLADA

Ah, a classic.

Bird identification is so fucked up in a really fun way you can’t understand until you get into it. For example, there is a type of goose called the cackling goose that looks exactly like a Canada goose except smaller and “cuter”. The cackling goose is way, way, more rare in most places than its relatively common cousin, so it’s on tons of birders life lists. Everyone wants to see a cackling (look in any bird ID group to see lots of hopeful people posting petite Canada geese). The two species regularly commingle, so sometimes a flock of those common parking lot birds will have the equivalent of a Pokémon shiny just hanging out in the middle of them.

How ridiculous and fun is that? I can never look at a big group of Canada geese without scrutinizing their ranks for an adorable little extremely rare cutie pie cackling goose. It reminds me a bit of mushroom harvesting minus the risk of death if you get it wrong
