    Their migration is incredible! Plus I loved the photos of the various nests - fascinating where they build them. I only hope the babies in the nest on the lock and chain survived.

    We had no idea they go into torpor, and how cold their bodies get as well as how high their normal body temperature is. They are amazingly adapted to not only their nutritional needs but their environment. Truly amazing!

    Yes! But since we live in the Eastern US the only one we've seen in person is the Ruby Throated Hummingbird. That said, we need to look out for other species in our future travels in the western US as well as South and Central America. I did see a Ruby Throated Hummingbird at one of our feeders for 45 minutes!! I know because I timed it - it would feed, look around, go to another feeding "hole" on the feeder, look around, feed again. Fascinating!
