That write will be coming up but it is HIGHLY likely that a Costas can mix with an Anna's, Lucifer etc. So it's very possible. How exciting for you....a Costa that far up north is a rare treat. These birds live year round here in Tucson and out in the desert areas more than around homes. The hybrids, between hummers were all mixed with Costas.....so it's very possible:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-73723383519060382702012-09-10T08:32:05.666-07:002012-09-10T08:32:05.666-07:00Awesome photos and variety!

I have a confirmed Costa's living here in Southern Oregon since June.He chases the Anna's and Rufous that are comonly found here.I saw him chase some Black Capped Chickadees too! It is now Sept. and I'm wondering if he will be leaving soon.I have noticed his song actually has changed lately...after the regular whistle he adds an Anna's type of sound.Have you ever heard this from a Costa's? The people at Cornel are the ones who confirmed his identity for me.They did not say he was a Costa's x Anna's, but I wonder...Ronne Vaughannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-91869895677872860572012-08-15T21:27:51.806-07:002012-08-15T21:27:51.806-07:00You're hummer photos are outstanding!

When we first moved into this house about 3 years ago we had lots of hummers and I occasionally saw a Costa's. In fact, I think the only decent hummer picture I ever took was of a Costa's. I had alot of fun trying to "shoot" them, but I was never very good at it.<br />tracyhttp://lifeisaroadtrip.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-23820475602163768492012-08-14T22:53:25.705-07:002012-08-14T22:53:25.705-07:00Incredible photos Chris!!!!

I think their favorite flowers to sip from are the aloes! Their little beaks fit so nicely in the trumpet shaped flowers.

Amazing too that you see so many species of hummers in a relatively small area. We don't get hunners over here at all but I remember my time in Canada and seeing Ruby-throated in the cold springs of Ontario - amazingly adapted and specialised birds.

I really think you should put your link in the Bird D'Pot's meme list this week....these are fabulous images [one of my favorite birds]. The meme, The Bird D'Pot, is open for bird photo linking all week long, and has a new set up each Saturday afternoon for another week's photos. <br /><br />Then, I wanted to tell you, when I read about you being in Tucson, I was thrilled to meet you....I lived in Tucson [in the North, up near Marana and Thornydale Road and Cotaro Farms Road] for over a decade.
