Costa's Hummingbird

One of the birds to be featured on a U.S. Stamp, the Costa's Hummingbird is one of the more spectacular birds of our Arizona-Sonora Desert. I cannot tell you how hard it is to get a good photograph of a hummingbird. This picture was taken on a day when the temperature was rather low for the desert and the hummingbirds were not quite as active as usual.
