Hummingbirds of Arizona

My brother got me started down this path. Keith Rankin inspired me with his excellent works of art. Now I have the bug to record as many of these amazing flying jewels. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I have 10 species at this time. I hoping to increase that to 14 or 15.
July 31, 2006

Update 8-29-2008. Added 2 more: Lucifer and Violet-Crowned, so now I'm up to 12.
Update 8-28-2009. Added 1 more: Berylline. So the count is at 13.
Also in update: Better quality pictures of Blue-Throated and White-Eared.

Some were captured and most were born in captivity. They are used to people but they won't come up and land on your finger.

Thanks for visiting my gallery & commenting. I love your hummers - wish I got more than just the ruby throated but I guess it's better than nothing. You have a gorgeous assortment!
