Costa's
Hummingbird Range Map
The Costa's Hummingbird breeds from central
California, southern Nevada, and southwestern
Utah south to southern Arizona and Mexico.
Winters from southern California and southern
Arizona south to Mexico. In southwestern deserts,
the Costa's Hummingbird frequents arid washes and
hillsides, dry chaparral, and suburban areas
where exotic plants have been introduced. In
California, it inhabits washes, mesas, and
hillsides, particularly where sages, ocotillo,
yuccas, and cholla cacti are abundant. The
Costa's Hummingbird is relatively independent of
water during the breeding season, and thus
occupies drier habitats than other hummingbirds.
