1 I See Purple
Finally I can confirm a mature male black-chinned hummingbird. I was above the spillway at the lake & he was going for the red salvia. In this first shot the light was good enough to see some dark purple at the base of his throat. He also was a much lighter green than the deep emerald of a ruby-throated.
