Apparently it's time for me to annoy y'all with tons of bird pictures again. But how could I possibly resist taking pictures of this fluffy little fellow!? Cricket was happily bathing in yesterday's (cold) rainfall, sitting on our fence for the better part of an hour, off and on. I really get a kick out of watching these tiny little spunky birds! #adventuresatfortirwin #costashummingbird https://www.instagram.com/p/CkwUjiAyDSB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Costa’s Hummingbird is very small, a mature adult growing to only 3 to 3 1/2 inches. The male Costa's has a mainly green back and flanks, a small black tail and wings, and patches of white below their throat and tail. Its most distinguishing feature is its vibrant purple cap and throat with the throat feathers flaring out and back behind its head. The male courtship display is a series of swoops and arcing dives, carefully angling to the sun showing off his violet plumage to impress. Each high-speed dive passes within inches of the female, which will be accented by a high-pitched shriek that is produced by the tail. #costa #costashummingbird #costas #hummingbird #bird #smallbird #crown #tail #wings #arizona #tucson #az #wildlife #birdwatching #desert #refuge #tucsonwildlifecenter (at Tucson Wildlife Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFOW5GzhoeQ/?igshid=ax8uk0x7mopt

Costa’s Hummingbird for today’s self isolation sketch session.

My next series: hummingbirds 💐 Costa's Hummingbird are tiny colourful green and violet desert birds. They have a wingspan of about 4 inches and weigh only 2-3 grams. They enjoy feeding on the nectar of desert flowers. Their heart beat is extremely fast, with the resting beat ranging from 500-900 beats per minute! God's creation is so cool and perfectly made 😁 . "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler." Psalm 91:1, 4 . . #hopeblossomsart #hopeb_watercolours #hopeb_creatures #watercolorart #watercolorartist #watercolor_daily #watercolourweekly #watercolorist #watercolorbird #hummingbird #costashummingbird #hummingbirdart #gardenbirds #colorfulbirds #godscreation #wildlifeart #wildlifeartist #naturepainting #wildlifepainting #psalm91 #creationart https://www.instagram.com/p/BtCuR9hnX29/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z134y2wy9r07

Finally got a pic of the male. Based on the coloring, it looks like a #costashummingbird the females don’t let him stay long, so I’m working on better pics😉

Cricket is back! Or perhaps a relative. But he was sitting on the arm of the chair on the back porch just like Cricket used to, which I haven't seen any of them do in months. So I'm sticking with it being Cricket back in town! #hummingbird #adventuresatfortirwin #costashummingbird https://www.instagram.com/p/CkomY7SyuZL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The male Costa's hummingbird's courtship display is a spirited series of swoops and arcing dives, carefully utilizing a proper angle to the sun to show off his violet plumage to impress prospective mates. Each high-speed dive will also pass within inches of the female, perched on a nearby branch, which will be accented by a high-pitched shriek that is produced by the tail. Separately, the male will perch and produce similar sounds in his song-- except, the song is vocal rather than tail-generated. #wikipedia 📷:@elijahs_photography #thetweetsuites #costashummingbird #hummingbird #wildbird #violet #plumage #birdsoftheamericas - thetweetsuites.com

This is Cricket. You may have seen him around in my stories lately. He's a Costa's hummingbird and he's been visiting my backyard feeder for a couple months now. Well. It could be that there's more than one, of course! Whenever I see two at once I can't ever make out what they both are unless I saw the first one by itself because they do NOT like to share! He's quite territorial. And he's adorable! It's been super windy the last couple of days so he's been spending most of his time hunkered down on a chair arm on our back porch or perched atop the feeder instead of zipping off to a tree in between feedings. He's a tough little booger, I'll give him that! I cannot imagine how a tiny little hummingbird could possibly fly in 30-40 mph winds! But somehow they do. #costashummingbird #hummingbird https://www.instagram.com/p/CaTBW4GPHKf/?utm_medium=tumblr
