they are tiny, beautiful, and amazing….

If you get to the Tucson area, you can see all the SE AZ hummers in the outside aviary at the Sonora Desert Museum.   Second best to finding one on your own in the desert or the canyons.

Desert Bird:
Costa's Hummingbird

Tiny Costa's Hummingbird‒named for early hummingbird collector Louis Costa‒is among the smallest of U.S. breeding birds. Found in hot, dry habitats like the Sonoran and Mojave deserts, the species is an important pollinator of desert plants and cacti, particularly red penstemon.

The birds migrate and nest in February or March, when desert flowers are most abundant and heat has not yet peaked. They wander if resources become scarce or temperatures climb too high. But unlike Rufous <http://support.abcbirds.org/site/R?i=5ulKl6zhinqSr17F73_bTQ> , Ruby-throated <http://support.abcbirds.org/site/R?i=D0HdkMmAXQUglhwbDPYdDg> , and Calliope Hummingbirds <http://support.abcbirds.org/site/R?i=f75aTvFNtKjuzouw8BkBXA> , Costa's are short-distance migrants, moving only as far south as northern Mexico in winter.
