I'm watching this show about humming birds. I thought they lived on nectar alone. Not true according to this. They eat bugs. Amazing. I never knew how many different types of humming birds there are. When they fight, they are quite brutal (this I did know just from watching them at my feeders).

They really are. These people that take the time to study them are amazing. It's got to be a lot of work, those little suckers are fast and trying to keep up with their every move must be very difficult.

And, oddly, only in the American continent.

What a great show!
They are one beautiful lil bird.
When the Hummers come to my feeders, I love hearing that lil chirping sound.
