Description
A male Costa's Hummingbird flashes me as I approach to photograph him. It is quite a treat to be able to be so close to these exquisite jewels and observe them as they go about their daily business of courting, nesting and feeding inthis open air building.
There are eight local varieties of hummers that are in residence here as the specific flowers that are the nectar source for the different hummingbirds come into bloom.
Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum, near Tucson, Arizona.

awe.. how beautiful is he!! Me too, right now, I'm sitting in front of the window, waiting foor our hummingbird. My husband has seen him, and so we stocked up on special treat plants, and of course our feeder. Last year we have 2 couples that came to our feeder every day. Hopefully we'll gt them back again this year! They are just the cutest little birds
