2025—As Anticipated—the Rivoli’s!

Yesterday, I posted an image of a Rivoli’s Hummingbird that I took last year at Madera Canyon. Yesterday morning, after my blog post went live, one of the first birds I photographed here in Madera Canyon was a male Rivoli’s Hummingbird. The male Rivoli’s is truly spectacular and there were three, maybe four, male Rivoli’s (and at least one female) that I observed, more at one time than I can remember from past visits here. This week, I’m looking forward to several more days of spectacular photographic opportunities with the jewels of the bird world.
