Costa's a rarity? Come on - it's all over the place in California. And I
had one this may in California Gulch which is not in California but in
Arizona.
I've got 11 species myself (after counting more carefully - first I forgot
a species then I found I couldn't count - sorry Mark). All hummingbirds
that occur regularly in the U.S. except Calliope. 8 on my Arizona trip.
I have to go back there for a shot at the *real* rarities sometime.
