This Rivoli's hummingbird (formerly known as the magnificent hummingbird) was kind enough to allow a few seconds for his head shot. Towering more than a third over other local hummingbirds, the Rivoli's certainly stands out in a crowd!
Considering their size and absolutely breathtaking colors, it's little wonder that "magnificent" was once their common name. Photo taken at Madera Canyon, AZ, USA.

I think it's safe to say that many of us have no opposition to Anna's hummingbirds sticking around all winter long! Photo taken at Madera Canyon, AZ.

The beautiful array of colors on the gorget of an Anna's Hummingbird. These hummingbirds are often considered "pink," but an overcast day highlights so much more. Anna's hummingbirds tend to stand out in a crowd, given their vibrant pink necks, and plump perching posture.

Behold: The intricate detail of a broad-billed hummingbird! These magical little forest fairies are exclusive to the western hemisphere. The tropics of Africa and Asia have insects and small birds which satisfy comparable ecological roles, but nothing quite like hummingbirds! Madera Canyon, AZ.
