Costa's Hummingbird Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: Costa's Hummingbirds are probably my favorite hummingbird species. We visit Arizona every 2 or 3 years (as the photos below show!), and a birding highlight for me is always the hummingbirds, particularly in places like Madera Canyon, where you may find more than just the "usuals". Costa's Hummingbirds may be one of the "usuals", but they're just one of the coolest birds out there. The photo below is from Madera Canyon in November 2015.
