I hear Magnificent Hummingbird is now called Rivoli's Hummingbird again.  According to the AOU's latest updates.

Bummer, Rivoli's doesn't have the same ring to it.  #Resist

Rivoli's is the old name for those who don't know.

We should petition AOU for Rivoli’s Magnificent Hummingbird.

From Cornell's All About Birds, "...named in honor of the Duke of Rivoli, an amateur ornithologist. Anna’s Hummingbird was named after his wife, Anna, the Duchess of Rivoli."

Why not just the Duke & Duchess hummers?

All,

Back when it was Rivoli's Hummingbird the first time, people would sometimes call it Ravioli's Hummingbird, but I would be in favor of calling it Rivoli's Mountain-Gem in line with similar hummingbirds farther south.

Here are some details about the recent AOU split of Magnificent Hummer into Rivoli's Hummer and Talamanca Hummer.

Pertinent excerpt:

"Split of Magnificent Hummingbird

  • Rivoli’s Hummingbird (Eugenes fulgens)
  • Talamanca Hummingbird* (Eugenes spectabilis) 

This split separates birds of southern Central America from those of Mexico, the U.S., and northern Middle America. Rivoli’s Hummingbird is found in pine–oak woodlands from the southwestern U.S. south to northern Nicaragua; adult males have a peridot-colored (yellow-green) throat and blackish underparts. Talamanca Hummingbird is found in cloudforest and high oak forests of Costa Rica and western Panama; adult males have a turquoise- or teal-colored throat and dark green underparts. The latter was originally named “Admirable Hummingbird” by Robert Ridgway, but his suggestion was unheeded. Instead, Eugenes spectabilis has been named for the Talamanca Mountains of eastern Costa Rica."

By the way, I am serious for a change. I realize that it is pretty pathetic when one has such a bad reputation of 
making up interesting facts and needs to state: "I am serious for a change."

Joe Roller, Denver

Incidentally, has the bird been re-found?
