Ruby-throated Hummingbird

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird crosses the Gulf of Mexico non-stop — 500 miles on wings beating up to 80 times per second. At night it enters near-death torpor to survive. By morning, The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is back defending every flower in your yard, doing it all again.
