Fun Facts about Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds are tiny gems that can fly frontwards and backwards, hover in front of a flower to drink nectar, and build a nest the size of a fifty-cent piece!
Many hummingbirds migrate twice a year over distances of thousands of miles.
They are a joy to study and a pleasure to observe for fun. Here is a nice article about these little feathered friends:
