Bird watchers in Southern Arizona have to be aware of Berylline hummingbird hybrids as seen above on the left. The bird looks mostly like a Magnificent Hummingbird but has the rufous-tinged wing and tail feathers characteristic of the Berylline. Frontal view of Magnificent Hummingbird on right was made with a speedlight to enhance iridescent colors. Photographs were taken in May of 2006 at Cave Creek in the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona.
Many more digital images of birds in groupings such as shorebirds, ducks, hummingbirds, flycatchers, grebes & mergansers, herons & egrets, birds of prey, etc. are available as large and small greeting cards in our shopping cart.
To date, we have photographed over 300 species of western birds (including both sexes in many cases). Unmarked JPEG images are available for scientific purposes by special request.
