This is one of the largest
of the hummingbirds that occurs in the United States. In
this sculpture it is shown feeding on the nectar of a coral
bean pod. In this distinctly delicate
and complicated work, the harmony and beauty of the
composition suggests far eastern artistic influences
and creates a universal appeal.
Rivoli Hummingbirds are
a favorite sighting during bird watching. Chester Comstock's
sculpture shows this jewel of the hummingbirds in its full
glory.
This art was created after
a bird watching expedition to the Sonora Desert Museum in
Tucson AZ.
