Well i haven’t, I’ve never been to any part of California. I made that as my interpretation of other humming birds I’ve seen other smiths make

Russian rose looks pretty good . I think Torbourn Ahman made a hummingbird on his YouTube channel a few years ago. Black Bear Forge John Switzer has a ton of beginner project videos too. A place to start right. Happy Hammer Time
