My last day at Santa Rita Lodge I ended up staying until sunset even though I had checked out at 11 am. This guy is one of my favorite birds there. He comes to see me every time I go and without fail he comes to say good-bye.
This video was shot at almost dark, around 6:45 Saturday August 13, 2016. It’s a little fuzzy but hey he looks good anyway!
He’s a Rivoli’s Hummingbird (renamed from Magnificent hummingbird) male – showing off. Rivoli’s are one of the largest hummingbirds in the US, the others that size are the Blue-throated and the Plain-capped Starthroat, which has a longer bill.
