I believe that some of these hummingbird moths may have flown past me speedily over the last few times I’ve been hiking in Eaton Canyon. Today, this one stopped at one of the black sage bushes, and for at least five minutes I watched it fly and hover to gather nectar from some of the many flowers on that bush. In one of the photos you can see it drinking from one of the sage flowers.
