Female Hummer With Young
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are the most skillful flyers of all the birds and it is the only species that can fly backwards. Because it can hover, fly up, down, forward, backward and sideways, at amazing speeds up to 55 mph., it virtually has no predators. Hummers drink flower nectar and eat small insects constantly throughout the day and hibernate at night to conserve energy. With no help from the male, the female can raise 2-3 broods of offspring each season. The mother builds her walnut sized nest of borrowed silk and web of insects and decorates it with moss and lichen. If she survives, she will return year after year to the same spot to nest.

  Male Ruby-throated Hummingbird
 The Ruby-throated hummingbird is the only species that nests east of the Mississippi. Here it is wide ranging, from southern Canada to Florida. Hummers winter in Mexico and Central America and have been known to travel over 2500 miles on their biannual migrations. Because of this, hummingbirds are a symbol of accomplishing that which seems impossible. Their playful aerial displays and squeaky cheeps remind us to seek joy as we drink from the abundant nectars of life. For more information, go to www.hummingbirds.net
