By Tim, founder of Easy Street Markets. I maintain the wildlife database and verify every animal and source myself.

The states with the strongest confirmed populations are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California and Colorado, and 39 more. These are real, verified iNaturalist and GBIF occurrence records, not modeled range estimates.

Hummingbirds have zero confirmed wild sightings in Hawaii, despite tens of thousands of nationwide observation records for the species. That is a real, checked absence, not a missing page.
