These uncommon, but very distinctive hummingbirds, are now more common than during prior years. They can be found in sycamore and cottonwood-lined canyons along the Arizona-Mexico border from May through September. Many eco-friendly resorts and lodges put out feeders making it easy to see many hummingbird species.
