Colored pencil drawing of a male Xantu's Hummingbird. Click for a larger view.
It’s been a long time (months) since I’ve touched a pencil. I need to start drawing again, so here’s one I did this morning.
This is a Xantus’s Hummingbird. These are pretty enigmatic, rare little dudes, especially in the U.S. There aren’t very many of them to begin with, and they have a very tiny geographic range where they’re found, in Baja California. However, on a handful of occasions, one has been seen north of the border in California.
Fun drawing things like this that I’ll likely never see.
