Violet-headed hummingbirds are small birds about 8.1 cm (3.2 in) in length with a short, straight bill that averages 13 mm (0.51 in) in length. The head and throat of the male are intense violet or blue with white spots behind each eye that stands out against the dark head. The back is metallic bluish-green and breast is green fading to a grey belly. The tail is green with tiny white-grey tail spots. The wings are black. The female is duller with a blue cap, green back and grey throat, breast and belly. The wings and tail are the same as the male. The female also has the white spot behind the eye.
When you got it, flaunt it..... and so he does!!! And I totally fell for it but he is known to be one of the most beautiful ducks. Heβs been commuting from NYC to NJ so he seems perfectly adapted to the wilderness of the daily commute. I wonder if he pays the tolls back into the city πππ.
