Blue-throated Hummingbird (Lampornis clemenciae)

Willis, TX(Zone 8b)

I saw this little bird in Big Bend National Park this week. There were around four or five of them flitting around. From what I understand about the bird, it winters in Mexico and can be seen in the southern areas of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas as well as some rare sightings in a few other southern states.

Thanks to all. It was very exciting to sit and watch these hummingbirds. They are so large compared to the Ruby-throated which are common in my area and while their wingbeat is a bit slower, it is a lot louder. I felt very fortunate to be able to see these birds.
