Costa's Hummingbird


Costa's Hummingbird   4" x 4"  acrylic   $225
A male Costa's Hummingbird perches on a branch to take a quick break from gathering the nectar of nearby flowers. These birds are common in the desert Southwest and their brilliant purple head and throat make them easily identifiable. An interesting fact is the feathers that project off the side of the throat are called the gorget (pronounced gorjet) and project out further than on any other North American hummingbird species.
