When the ruby-throated hummingbirds came, the black-throated disappeared. I guess he was only here due to migration.

It's Bird Day
I was so happy to see the hummingbirds were back, I failed to notice this was not the usual ruby-throated variety. In fact, turns out to be a black-chinned hummingbird. According to my bird book, they are not normally in eastern Oklahoma. I first spotted him on April 15th.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, both species!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking in today, at I'd Rather B Birdin'
Ps...I think it's black thinned (instead of throated?)
DeleteAuto correct is at it again...chinned (not thinned)
DeleteSilly me. I knew that. Must have been half asleep. Thanks for the correction. :)

I've never seen a black chinned hummingbird. What a gorgeous bird! Hope you are having a wonderful week so far!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteWe have the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds here, but they seem to know if I have my camera with me. No camera, I can walk right up to them at the feeders. Camera in hand, they fly away fast!
