"I'm looking for a puffin and a black-chinned hummingbird," he said.

The Black-chinned Hummingbird is also known to hybridize with Costa's Hummingbird.

It was later determined to be a hybrid between an Anna's Hummingbird and a Black-chinned Hummingbird.

The white-throated swift is abundant in the spring, and the watcher might spot the Allen's, Costa's and black-chinned hummingbird.

Once, while I was seated just outside my tent peeling an orange, a black-chinned hummingbird appeared and hovered inches from my hand, drawn by the aroma.

Hybrids between this bird and the Black-chinned Hummingbird as well as the Broad-tailed Hummingbird are known.

Several pairs of golden eagles were spotted, and one campsite on Taylor Creek was visited by a black-chinned hummingbird by day and industrious bats by night.

I saw ash-throated flycatchers, Western kingbirds, black-throated gray warblers, Audubon warblers, black-chinned sparrows, lark sparrows, canyon wrens, black-chinned hummingbirds and a pair of merlins.

Three species of hummingbirds are present: one is the tiny but highly pugnacious rufous hummingbird, which compete intensely with the more mild-tempered black-chinned hummingbirds for breeding habitat in shrubs or trees located near water.

Many other species of hummingbirds also produce sounds with their wings or tail, including the wings of the Broad-tailed Hummingbird, Rufous Hummingbird, Allen's Hummingbird, Streamertail, as well as the tail of the Costa's Hummingbird and the Black-chinned Hummingbird.
