Description
A female Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilocus colubris) is enjoying the nectar of a Coppertips flower (Crocosmia) in a garden in Summers County, West Virginia.
Hundreds of kinds of hummingbirds nest in the American tropics, and more than a dozen in the western U.S., but east of the Great Plains there is only the Ruby-throat. There it is fairly common in summer in open woods and gardens. Hovering in front of a flower to sip nectar, it beats its wings more than 50 times per second. Impressive migrants despite their small size, some Ruby-throats may travel from Canada to Costa Rica.
