Costa's Hummingbird

The Costa's is a small hummer of the southwest. This is a male.  Had one of female but it would not post.  The male have a  violet gorget and crown.  Their tail lacks white tips.

  The female's throat and under parts are a dingy white to a pale gray, throat sometimes are a blotched violet.
 They are found in the western U.S. and Mexico.  They breed usually in Feb. to July in the desert in the washes and chaparral.
Dale sent me another photo of the female Costa's , so was able to post it.  DesertDale took these photos from inside our rig, where we put  a feeder just out side the window.
