A great black long tongued hummingbird. They are very rare, and previously thought to be extinct.

Sweet-toothed, black-throated bearingbird.

Thanks for the chuckle.

There is a Black-chinned hummingbird. I doubt that it weighs over 200 pounds though.

hadn't ever seen a hummingbird until 1999 when my wife and I were in Laguna Nagel having breakfast outside. I seated my wife so she could look out at the pacific. we no sooner sat down when a blue humming bird flew between us (nose high) stopped in midair looked at me, with an oops look, and took off. there was a big beautiful red flower to my left and the hummingbird's real target
