Ruby-throated Hummingbird

In our yard today, resting after a snack in her usual tree. The only hummingbird in our area is the Ruby-throated.

Here’s a few fun facts: Hummingbirds are the only bird that can fly backwards. They weigh less than a nickel. They drink nectar by moving their tongues in and out approximately 13 times per second and they can drink double their body weight in a single day.
