On the last morning of December, I was sitting on my Arizona patio, camera on the tripod, waiting for my resident Broad-billed Hummingbird to strike a pose. Finally he perched gracefully, puffed up for warmth, among foliage of a Red Bird of Paradise near me. The bird's iridescent green feathers shimmer in the soft light, creating a striking contrast with the warm hues of the surrounding leaves. Known for its distinctive broad bill, this hummingbird is a true gem of nature, often found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. The delicate balance of colors in this scene highlights the beauty of what an urban habitat can provide making it a perfect representation of the serene moments that can be captured in your yard.
