Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds are known for their vibrant red throats, especially in males.
They hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings about 50 times per second.
These tiny birds can migrate over 1,000 miles, often nonstop, during migration.
They feed primarily on nectar from flowers, favoring brightly colored blooms.
Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds are fiercely territorial, often defending their feeding areas.
Despite their small size, they are crucial pollinators in many ecosystems.
These birds have a lifespan of 3 to 5 years, with some living up to 9 years in the wild.
