Lucifer Hummingbird

Map not to any scale.

******************************************

Photographed at the Ash Canyon Bed & Breakfast Lodge

Female, note the down curved bill & white streak behind the eye.

The female lacks the all purple throat like the male has.

*********************************

*****************************

Don't pay any attention the bird suspended in mid air. I think this a helicopter hummer.

The male Lucifer. Note the purple throat & down curved bill.
Similar to the Costa's except there is no purple crown.

**************************************************

Good example of the bill shapes.

left center male Lucifer - right center Plain-capped Starthroat.

Do you know what the other two hummers are??

Don't always go by the down curved bill, I have some Black-chinned Hummers with a down curved bill.
