The black-chinned hummingbird (Archilochus alexandri) is an apodiforme bird in the trochilidae family. These birds are found in numerous habitats, including deserts, mountain forests, and some urban areas. The black-chinned hummingbird ranges from southern British Columbia, western United States, and northern Mexico, with most of the northern lying bird migrating down to southern regions after breeding season is over. Male black-chinned hummingbirds are recognizable by the faint iridescent purple gorget on their neck which is only visible in certain lighting.
