Hummingbird with Blue-green Feathers

Here’s a delightful sight: a hummingbird with beautiful blue-green feathers in the United States.

A male Broad-billed Hummingbird has rich blue-green feathers. His colors make him look like a tropical hummingbird, with the red bill and contrasting the blue-green on his body.

The colors on the female are not at bright, but she has the reddish bill.

The Broad-billed Hummingbird comes north into Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. An occasionally a Broad-billed Hummingbird is seen in other states. Like most other hummingbirds in the U.S., the Broad-billed migrates.

The Boyce Thompson Arboretum and southeastern Arizona are good places to see these beautiful birds. If you are making a special visit to the Boyce Thompson Arboretum to see one, we suggest you call and ask if the birds are around.
