Archilocus alexandri
There are 16 species of hummingbirds that visit southern Arizona, USA, and I have photographed 14 of them. The other two are very rare. I am especially fond of hummingbirds. I found this one at Ash Canyon Bed & Breakfast in Hereford, Arizona. Most of our hummers come up from Mexico; there are many such birds in the tropics, sometimes called "hummingbirds" and sometimes not. Few of our hummingbirds are common anyplace else in the states.

a fantastic capture!!!!!!!!!
I visited your web site today, Pat, and saw your fabulous collection of hummingbirds ! This is indeed an extra-ordinary shot ! :~)
Fantastic.....!!!
A fantastic capture. I live here in Arizona and I have tried to photograph them, but they never stand (or hover) still long enough. A couple of times I was out in my backyard looking at red flowers (they prefer red) and one came up to me, sounding like a bumble bee, and hovered about 2 feet away from me. Before I had a chane to react, it zoomed away. I never get tired of watching them, especially when they are around a feeder and staking out their terretory!
Nice shot. I have some feeders in the yard that get some use. Just need to do some watching with my zoom lens. Cool capture!
lovely!!!! GREAT shot!!!!
