When the early Spanish explorers first saw hummingbirds, they called them "Joyas Voladoras" or "Flying Jewels". Its easy to see why: hummingbirds are colorful and tiny, and they have the ability to fly forwards AND backwards! Hummingbirds can also hover for a long time. They need to eat five to eight times an hour, hovering near a flower and licking nectar with its fringed tongue.

Hummingbirds spend the winter months in Central America or Mexico and migrate north to the southern United States in the springtime. They would love to feed at your hummingbird feeder if you have one!
