Calypte costae
This series shows this purple hummingbird in flight and the various colors of the feathers as it moves. This bird at rest can be seen at my other spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/850...
Mexican Bush Sage in the backyard
You can see all of the pollen on its bill.

Thank you for the invite Yulia. Unfortunately I'm not within your local range and there is already a Blue & Purple mission that I joined before realizing the location restriction.
please join my mission Purples of Nature

Thank you Emma and Viv! This bird was certainly stunning!
STUNNING!
Amazing and stunning!
Hi Cindy, this is a really amazing picture. Unfortunatelly Pollinators missions is only for Bugs, not vertebrates, so please remove your hummingbird pictures of the mission
Thanks Wendy!
I agree with Palaimon. Beautiful picture!
Thank you Palaimon. I was really happy with that one!
the third picture is great!
:) Thanks Karen.
Cindy, I've seen SOTD's that are several weeks or months old so you never know!
Thank you Melissa. Not good enough for SOTD but Jonathan Sequeira's spotting is gorgeous!
Such beautiful photographs Cindy!
Thank you IgCostaNut! I've added it to the Blue and Purple mission.
This shot is so awesome!!!! When I created the color blue mission I was not aware that there was also a blue and purple in some other area that I could not access.
Thank you KarenL! I'll do that.
Just gorgeous! The color blue mission was originally titled blue & purple so maybe you could add to that!
Thanks Emma. I've been mesmerized by this beauty for two days! It now answers when I mimic its call and flies within a foot of me. I couldn't resist another spotting of the same bird to show it in flight!
Simply stunning!! What a pretty bird!
Thank you Ismael!
Wonderful shot Cindy!
I can only create one more mission and can't make up my mind which :) I hope someone else has already created the purple mission.
Stunning!!
And I agree.. there's should be a purple mission!
Is there a purple mission somewhere? I've only seen blue, yellow and red.
