U.S.=4 species
Costa Rica=36 species
Panama=55 species
Brazil=68 species

Wow great set. I was just happy to snap and post my first ever image of a scarlet tanager a short while ago. Some interesting facts on their species population dispersal. Thanks for sharing. vz

Just a tiny correction:
Col"u"mbia is an university in the US. I think you meant Col"o"mbia the country (where I was born).

Thank you. I stand corrected (and I'm embarrassed as I should have caught that!)

Not a problem. I cannot point any fingers because I have my share of missteps.
On a different note, a friend of mine just returned from Colombia and is publishing: "A Field Guide to the Birds of Colombia", in it she suggests that there are 1,932 species, mostly due to the varying habitats she found there. Here's the link to her artil\cle: https://onwatchingbirds.com/2019/04/23/a-new-field-guide-to-the-birds-of-colombia/
Nice shots by the way ... definitely not overkill.

Definitely not overkill! Envy your travels to obtain great photos like these. Your photos again do justice to these beautiful birds. I find that even at feeders these birds are not so simple to shoot. Some of them (Lemon-rumped and Silver-beaked for example) have such intense colors mixed with black that good exposures are tough in all but the most subdued light.
I have found that some species that are widespread geographically have significant differences in coloration from one spot to the next. Sometimes hard to believe they are the same species.

These are all so beautiful. I spend lots of time in Ecuador, and I don't remember seeing any of these. But then, I'm not a birder.
