					<description><![CDATA[The Plain-capped Starthroat Hummingbird (Heliomaster constantii) feeds largely on flying insects.

The 'fungus looking' plant, in the background, is an American Cancer-root (a parasitic plant).

In keeping with the insect theme, I also included some beautiful, delicate, Mexican Catchfly flowers.

					<description><![CDATA[(Crotalus cerastes cercobombus)

Another one of the three subspecies of Sidewinder found in Arizona. All of the sidewinders are adapted to survive in hot, sandy, barren deserts and are renowned for their ability to move rapidly across the sand in a sidewinding motion. The newest rattle segment of the Sonornan Desert Sidewinder is always black.

					<description><![CDATA[(Crotalus cerastes laterorepens)

The third subspecies of this species in Arizona usually has 23 scale rows at mid-body (the other two subspecies usually have 21 rows). It is found in the southwest part of the range of the species. As all three subspecies are quite similar I decided to break away from my usual composition format and portray a full body image of the Colorado Desert Sidewinder.

					<description><![CDATA[(Crotalus oreganus concolor)

This was the last of the paintings produced for the 'Rattlesnakes of Arizona' book. In my quest for detailed information on this snake I was able to locate and photograph several specimens from elsewhere within its range, but never able to track down any specimens from their very limited range within Arizona. The dorsal markings of Arizona specimens do not appear to be as 'faded' as specimens from elsewhere and analysis of their DNA was employed to confirm their identity.
