Description
The Costa's Hummingbird has a blue-violet flared gorget and head. They are found in desert areas and build their nests in cacti and yuccas. I didn't show a nest in this hummingbird picture, but I showed him feeding from a Prickly Pear cactus flower. You don't see many hummingbird pictures with cactus. The flowers aren't really that orange in real life, but I used my artist's license, as I did in doing all of these hummingbird paintings.
