EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the sun-kissed landscapes of Poway, Southern California, this enchanting photograph captures the vibrant beauty of the Costa's Hummingbird (Calypte costae), a native gem of the USA's southwestern deserts. Perched gracefully atop a towering yucca plant, the hummingbird's iridescent feathers shimmer in the golden light, reflecting the radiant hues of the arid terrain. The Costa's Hummingbird, a petite yet powerful creature, is renowned for its agility and ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping its wings up to 80 times per second. With its long, curved beak and nectar-feeding habits, this hummingbird is a vital contributor to the delicate balance of the desert ecosystem. The yucca plant, a quintessential symbol of the American Southwest, provides the perfect perch for this hummingbird, its spiky leaves and tall, elegant blooms offering shelter and sustenance. The stark contrast between the hummingbird's vivid colors and the muted tones of the desert landscape creates a breathtaking tableau, showcasing the harmony between nature's most resilient inhabitants and their environment. Photographed by renowned nature photographer Ken Archer and captured by Danita Delimont, this image offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the captivating world of the Costa's Hummingbird and the unique beauty of the Southern California desert.
