The Magnificent Hummingbird is a large hummingbird that is aptly named for its eye-catching plumage. The species is one of numerous hummingbird species that are endemic to southeast Arizona among the U. S. states. It was formerly called Rivoli's Hummingbird to honor the Duke of Rivoli. The name was changed to its current name in the mid-1980s. Table of Contents: Appearance | Food | Distribution and Habitat | Behavior and Ecology | Conservation Appearance The Magnificent Hummingbird grows to a length of 4. 3-5. 5 inches and weighs up to 6-10 grams. The males are slightly larger compared to females. With this size, the Magnificent Hummingbird is considered as one of the two largest species of hummingbirds that occur in the United States, the other being the Blue-throated Hummingbird. The species may have rivals in size in the extreme southern ends of its breeding range. Both male and female Magnificent Hummingbirds appear dull if their plumages are not hit directly by sunlight. Also, both sexes have a long and straight to slightly curved black bill.

This is important to take note of, as this puts into question the very validity of the product itself. At a price of over $50, that's asking quite a bit for a product that hasn't even been verified in it's effectiveness. Wrap Up While claiming to do a lot, including give a sustaining energy boost, none of this has been verified by the FDA. In the end what this product may very well be, is just a capsule with a high dose of caffeine and conveniently placed "y" in it's name to make it stand out from the rest. Bottom Line: Much like the guy who goes to the gym to show off the fact that he goes to the gym, so to does Synedrex make promises about itself without any verification that the product is as effective as it likes to claim. With all that it claims to do, in the end this capsule based product may be nothing more than a hyped up caffeine pill with a few other things added to make it seem more legit than it really is. Don't let this product steal all of your attention; there are other diet pills out there that may be more effective for you, possibly cheaper as well.
Grilled Bruschetta Chicken is a summer staple in my house! Made with juicy tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, red onion, garlic and balsamic, it turns plain grilled chicken into a delicious weeknight meal in minutes! Grilled Bruschetta Chicken Make the tomatoes the night before or early in the morning and let all the flavors marinate. Then when you are ready to eat grill some chicken and you have yourself a quick weeknight meal. What is Bruschetta Chicken? Bruschetta in Italian is actually an antipasto consisting of grilling bread, rubbing it with garlic and topped with olive oil and salt. Tomatoes and other toppings are often added like this simple tomato topping I used on my grilled chicken. This recipe takes a classic Italian appetizer and turns it into a main dish. The tomatoes are the star of the show. To quote my husband "you could serve this over cardboard and it would be good! " We love it in the summer when tomatoes are ripest, serve this with some crusty bread to soak up the juice if you wish, or just have it over a great big salad.
