    I have seen three species of hummingbirds in my life.  The Rufous and Ruby-throated hummingbirds were features or talked about but you have not talked about the Black-chinned hummingbird yet.  I live in NJ so the Ruby-throat I see quite often in the summer at my feeders.  However, the Rufous is considered a rare bird for the State and I have seen it on twice in different years.  I also bird in LA often and this year I took a detour to Texas to see the Golden Cheek warbler and as a bonus I saw the Black Chinned hummingbird.   My wife and I really enjoy hummingbirds, and we are headed out to Arizona May 2025 where I hope to pick up 9 new species if all goes well.  This is one of the main reasons I am taking this class.  I will be brushing up on my Western Warblers with your other course.  Just love learning about birds.  Thanks and keep the courses coming.

    I found it amazing there are so many woodpeckers.   I know I could never see them all in my life time so it is awesome that they made this course.  Now I know what I have been missing.  Being from the New Jersey I have seen Red Head (Kevin's and my favorite), Northern Flicker (Yellow Tail), Downing, Yellow-belly Sapsucker and Hairy Woodpecker.  I wanted to expand my woodpecker life list so I went down to Louisiana and Texas this year.  I got the Ladderback near Austin and Red Cockaded in Louisiana.  I am now obsessed and will be headed out West to Arizona in May to hopefully add a few more woodpeckers to my life list.  Would love to see the Acorn WP.  I love these courses because they really help you to become a better birder and it supports a good cause.
