Wow! Is it blue or is it purple?


Wow! This lovely male has a beautiful blue or purple color on its throat. If you know what it's proper name is, please let us know by clicking on the comments button below. Thank you.

Hi there!

I believe that is a Costa's hummer.

Cheers,
Tracey

We went to birdersdigest.com and looked up Costa's. Costa's do have a vibrant purple gorget, but they also have a purple crown. The hummer you have pictured is called a Black-chinned. Good call though. Thanks for your comment.
