While a black-chinned hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri) is nothing unusual for the southwestern and western U.S., it is rare for Arkansas. I don't know what this one was doing in my backyard, but I was glad he stopped by for a visit.
This blog is designed for no other purpose, but to be a vehicle to share my love of birding with other bird enthusiast, particularly with those who might also live in and around the Bismarck area. Be sure to click on the pictures to get a larger, more detailed image and feel free to comment or make suggestions for any entry.
