If you watch closely you will notice its <strong>deep purple throat<\/strong> color among its dark plumage.<\/p><p>The name <strong><em>Archilochus<\/em><\/strong> refers to <strong>Archilochus<\/strong>, a Greek poet from the island of Paros (600 B.C.), famous for his wild wit and disregard for convention; while <em><strong>alexandri<\/strong> <\/em>was the epithet chosen by French <strong>ornithologists Jules Bourcier<\/strong> and <strong>\u00c9tienne Mulsant<\/strong>, in reference to a <strong>Dr. Alexandre<\/strong> who practiced in Mexico and sent biological specimens to Paris in the 1840s.<\/p><p>Finally, a curious fact: the <strong>Black-chinned Hummingbird<\/strong> has the <strong>smallest genome<\/strong> among living amniotes (a class which includes all birds, reptiles, mammals and amphibians) according to the Animal Genome Size Database, possessing only <strong>910 million base pairs<\/strong>, compared to the approximately <strong>3.2 billion base pairs<\/strong> in the human genome.<\/p><p>A <strong>pollinator garden<\/strong> filled with flowers, or even a sugar-water hummingbird feeder, will attract these beautiful
