    The torpor state is very interesting! I wonder if there are other advantages aside from preserving energy and nutritive stores. Is UV camouflaging a thing?! Would predators be less likely to find them during torpor?

    Is it possible in Ontario that I've seen other species of hummingbirds other than the native ruby-throated hummingbird? Or is that simply not possible? Thanks!

    I live in Ontario, so only ruby-throated hummingbirds seen at our feeders. Sometimes the orioles try to use the hummingbird feeders, and we've also seen hummingbirds bicker over using the feeder. My favourite experience so far was seeing one land on the clothesline after a snack. He just sat so still - it was such a special opportunity to gaze in awe at his beauty versus the usual buzzing by!
