Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

Published:
180 Views

Description

The ruby throat is among the smallest of birds, weighing less than an ounce. They are astounding flyers that can move forward and backward as well as hover in flight. They have been clocked flying up to 60 mph. The sound produced by its rapid wingbeats led to its name. You need only to sit near a flower being visited by a hummingbird to understand.
A member of one of the world's most unique family of birds,
the ruby throat is native to Ohio and 99 percent of the hummingbirds you will see will be the ruby-throated.
