Banding birds in Sedona recently I caught this hybrid male Rivoli's x Black-chinned Hummingbird. It is smaller than a Rivoli's (Magnificent) and larger than a Black-chinned. Hummingbirds do hybridize occasionally but there is no record of this hybrid combination. He's truly unique, a one of a kind individual.
