I know I have Anna's overwintering here in Southern Nevada but recently I've been seeing a flash of blue.

This is a shot of it in flight. Unlike the Anna's it is very skitterish and I'm having a hard time judging the wing length thing and I've never positively ID ed a Costa's yet.

Thanks

Yes, thank you all. I managed to catch it perching in the Creosote Bushes this morning. My first positive ID.
