Costa's Hummingbirds are common to the deserts of the extreme southwest.  They are early breeders, and you can hear their high-pitched calls and see their flight displays beginning in the winter months in Yuma.  Listen and look for them in January around flowering trees and flowers in Yuma neighborhoods.
