We have had the opportunity to visit with these small guys up close this summer and they are a joy to have around.
From the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, “This is the smallest bird in the United States, yet this tiny hummingbird breeds in meadows and open forests high in chilly Northwestern mountains, and travels more than 5,000 miles each year to pine-oak forests in Mexico and back again.”
3 inches of spunkiness and color that is hard to forget.
Very nice photos. We enjoy our ruby-throated birds.
I enjoy seeing these little birds here in NM, nice photos!
Tough little beauties!
Oh…do wish they came here! I have never even seen one yet.
Splendid captures of this gorgeous little bird. The flash of throat feathers is stunning!
