Costa's Sentinel

[Dave Douglass]

I got a call from a pal while ago saying that she’s seeing a male Costa’s Hummingbird at her feeder so I grabbed my camera and hotfooted it over there hoping for some shots. I did not manage to get any inflight at the feeder shots of it but I did get a chance to get it nearby perched on some yard art standing guard of the feeder. I’ve never seen one, and they haven’t either. I read that they are more of a desert bird, not likely in the mountains, where I live. I think I scored. D500, 200-500 lens, 1.4 TC, gimbal head, monopod.
