72. Black-chinned Hummingbird - DesertUSA While its common name, blackchinned hummingbird, is simple enough to not need an etymological (word origin) explanation, the scientific name, http://www.desertusa.com/mag01/jul/papr/h_bird.html

DesertUSA Quick Links Home Animals Community Deserts ... Reservations General Info. About DUSA Advertising Contact Us BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRD (Archilochus alexandri) Click here to view a movie of Hummingbirds Description The black-chinned hummingbird measures about three and one-half inches long with a three and three-quarter-inch wing span. It weighs three to three and one-half grams, which is about equivalent to the weight of a dime plus a dollar bill. The male is dull metallic green above and gray below. He has a black chin and upper throat with a violet, iridescent lower throat which is known as a gorget (pronounced gore-jet). A white upper breast looks like a collar against the gorget. The female lacks the characteristic coloring on the chin and upper throat and lower throat. Range Black-chins breed from southern British Columbia to Mexico. They winter in Mexico. Black-chins arrive in Canada in late May, following their migration out of Mexico. They begin returning to Mexico in late June. Most are gone from southern British Columbia by the end of July. They are abundant in southern Arizona throughout summer. Predator and Prey Red flowers are generally the most commonly visited ones although tubular-shaped corollas, regardless of color, may be just as important an attractant. Others hypothesize that black-chins choose red and orange flowers because fewer insects visit them.
