Whatever Weds. Black-chinned Hummingbird-Immature Male or Female

Great picture Deborah! I also like the name Hummingburd for this, well, humming bird. In Dutch is’t called : Kolibrie, pronounced: koh-lee-bree. Its sounds a bit like a song. 🙂

That’s a pretty name for them. In French you may know it’s Colibri or Oiseau-mouche. Your spelling and the French is quite similar! Thank you so much, Peter!

I smiled at your cautious identification. You did better than I would have; ‘hummingbird’ would have been the extent of my knowledge.

😊 It’s tricky to tell the immature males from Females sometimes late fall might be easier to tell but, I made this image in late summer.
