Yesterday, I watched as a hummingbird was drinking from the hummingbird feeder right outside my kitchen window. I was just inches from the bird. I didn't see this particular bird again today, but was not home very much. The bird I saw yesterday had a very dark throat and head, and a very white chest. I remember how the white stood out against the very dark throat and head. It's back and tail were greenish. It's wings at rest appeared brownish. Along the bottom and corners of the gorget was a definite purple or amethyst color. Could it be possible this bird was a Black-Chinned Hummingbird? I know this is not anywhere near it's home turf, but it seemed so different from the Ruby-Throated. Ann Tallent Maryville Blount County
