Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-
Photographed in my backyard, Cedar City, UT-edited in Topaz Studio
Lots of Hummingbirds visiting my flowers and feeder, they are such a joy to watch...
Black-chinned Hummingbird (Archilochus Alexandria) A small green-backed hummingbird of the West, with no brilliant colors on its throat except a thin strip of iridescent purple bordering the black chin, only visible when light hits it just right. Black-chinned Hummingbirds are exceptionally widespread, found from deserts to mountain forests. Many winter along the Gulf Coast. Often perches at the very top of a bare branch. Low-pitched humming sound produced by wings.
A Black-chinned Hummingbird’s eggs are about the size of a coffee bean. The nest, made of plant down and spider and insect silk, expands as the babies grow.
