The Rivoli’s Hummingbird is indeed magnificent. In 1983, ornithologists changed the name of the Rivoli’s Hummingbird to Magnificent Hummingbird and for 34 years, it remained Magnificent. In 2017 though, ornithologists split the Magnificent into two species, and for those birds that live between Nicaragua and the U.S., the original name was restored. I still think of this bird as magnificent, and even more so when one looks straight at me, like this bird this past June in Madera Canyon, AZ.
