Costa's Hummingbird

Back to the series on my "5" Star Photos we come to Costa's Hummingbird. Costa's is a rare hummingbird found only in Southern Arizona and Southern California. It is not found in huge numbers, rather solitary. There is no reliable place to go to find them. You might find one here at The Azure Gate just as easily as anywhere else in its range. Even so, that does not mean we see one often.

This photo was taken just outside my office while he was perched on a creosote bush. I took several photos and was surprised when one "caught" him with wings expanded.
