Going through all of my images yesterday, I came to realize that I haven’t broached the subject of hummingbirds in quite awhile. So, having that in mind, I thought that today I would post some of my photos of some Black-chinned Hummingbirds (Archilochus alexandri). The black-chins are the most predominant hummingbird in this area. We do have some ruby-throats, and I will feature them in the next post in a few days.
