Aptly named for its spectacular plumage, the Magnificent Hummingbird is one of several hummingbird species found in southeast Arizona but not regularly elsewhere in the United States. The species was known as Rivoli's Hummingbird until the mid-1980s
Calls include repeated chips and chatter. Male also makes a soft song of scratchy notes during the breeding season.
