For a taxonomic list of genera, see: For an alphabetic species list, see: Hummingbirds are birds of the family Trochilidae , and are native only to the Americas . They are known for their ability to hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 15–80 times per second (depending on the species). Capable of sustained hovering, hummingbirds also have the ability to fly backward, being the only group of birds able to do so . Hummingbirds may also fly vertically and laterally. Their English name derives from the characteristic hum made by their wings.

Hummingbirds
How do hummingbirds eat?
Hummingbirds are very small birds with a high metabolism. A great deal of energy is spent flying, so they must feed almost constantly. Hummingbirds can consume up to 50% of their weight in sugar (nectar solution) each day. They usually feed on nectar and insects. Hummingbirds actually lap up the nectar with their tongues. A lot of people think that hummingbirds have a hollow tongue like a straw. Their tongues do have grooves on the sides that collect nectar. When the bill constricts, the hummingbird can swallow the nectar from flowers and feeders. Hummingbirds are able to perch and will do so at feeders regularly. Because they fly so much, they have poorly developed feet. They can barely walk at all. The hummingbird is much more comfortable in flight.
Feeding Hummingbirds
It is important to keep any nectar feeder clean and filled with fresh solution.

BIRD FAMILIES OF THE WORLD a web page by Don Roberson HUMMINGBIRDS Trochilidae
  • 328 species in the New World DR personal total: 170 species (52%), 46 photos
Colorful, combative, and energetic, hummingbirds are among the world's most popular birds. They are found only in the New World. People across North America attract them to their homes through hummingbird feeders and flowering gardens, and can be rewarded with bright migratory species, such as a male Rufous Hummingbird (left). Yet the true center of trochilid diversity is in the Neotropics, home to a dazzling array of species that range from tiny to surprisingly large, and with an assortment of head plumes, tail streamers, and bill shapes. Their ability to hover and fly backwards makes them unique. Further, their interdependence on and co-evolution with flowers provide a fascinating correlation and field for study. Because the sources of nectar are constantly changing as flowers bloom and fade, most hummingbirds live solitary lives, aggressively defending nectar sources from rivals. Despite the strong pressure to gather nectar rapidly, studies have shown that 70% of a hummer's time is spent doing little else than singing, self-preening, and sunbathing (Schuchmann 1999). In the two shots below, a male White-necked Jacobin sits near its favored feeder in Trinidad (below left) but immediately reacts when a White-chested Emerald tries to approach. Such interactions can lead to dramatic interspecific aerial chases.

Nectar Recipe
I have found that this is the best recipe for making your own nectarI feel the birds prefer it over the various instant mixes.
1 Part Sugar
4 Parts Water Boil 1-2 Minutes Never use honey or artificial sweeteners! Honey ferments easily, and can cause sores in a hummers mouth. Artificial sweeteners have no food value. DO NOT use red food coloring in your solution, as this could be harmful to your hummers. No testing has been done on the effects dye has on birds. Most feeders have red on them and that should be enough.

Praying Mantis Makes Meal of a Hummer
Though we tend to think of hummingbirds as cute, dainty little things, in reality they make bold and fierce competitors. They don't let their guard down for a moment while defending their territories from other hummingbirds. They must also watch out for other animals that might prey on them, such as American kestrels in North America or tarantulas in South America. Praying mantises are also known to capture and kill hummingbirds, as a reader from West Chester, Pennsylvania, describes. - BWD

Enjoying Hummingbirds More The other day while I was working in the yard my son urgently called to me. "Dad, a praying mantis caught a hummingbird!" Not sure what to expect, but knowing my son is not one to make things up, I came running to see for myself.  By the time I arrived it was too late for the poor hummer and my scientifically minded son had already begun taking pictures and studying the scene. As you can see from the photographs this hungry mantis captured and killed a hummingbird not much smaller than itself.  The mantis used its spiny left foreleg to impale the hummingbird through the chest while leaving his right leg free.

They are called hummingbirds because when they fly, their wings often make a humming sound. Their tiny wings beat about 55 to 75 times each second! The average life span of a hummingbird is 3 years. Many hummingbirds migrate to find food during the cold winter. Hummingbirds are native to the Americas.

Nature's little jewels. Hummingbirds are the smallest of North American birds, all with long slender bills adapted for reaching deep into tubular flowers Wingbeat is so rapid it produces a humming sound. All species feed while hovering and can also fly backward. Throat feathes look black when light does not reflect the brilliant iridescent colors. Young birds resemble females; some are difficult to identify. All are fearless and pugnacious, Males have a "pendulum" courting flight with distinctive patterms for some species Migrate by day, flying low. Eggs, 2, are small, white. Few have a song however, most all have a rapid squeaky chipping [or a clicking] sound.

http://www.ahummingbirdsguide.com/
Home Hummingbirds What is M.E.? M.E: The Medical Facts ... The Guestbook Why this is a 'Hummingbirds' guide to M.E. Because hummingbirds are tough little things with a lot more strength, bravery and determination than most people ever give them credit for - a lot like many of the people who have Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.)
Why put together a M.E. website at all? The idea behind this website was to try to create a guide to M.E. which doesn't just mindlessly repeat the same inaccurate myths and propaganda again and again and instead focuses on the available facts:
  • There is an abundance of hard scientific evidence that proves beyond a doubt that M.E. is a severely debilitating (and potentially fatal) organic neurological illness that has occurred for centuries in both epidemic and sporadic forms. Enough scientific evidence exists now to prove this literally more than a THOUSAND times over. This evidence spans over 70 years and has been published in prestigious peer-reviewed journals all over the world.
  • No evidence whatsoever exists to show that M.E. is caused or perpetuated by psychiatric or 'behavioural' problems. (Studies involving 'fatigue' sufferers who do not have M.E. have no more relevance to M.E. patients than patients with MS, or any other illness.) These theories exist solely because they are so

The hummingbirds that live on the east slope of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador have adapted to a range of habitats, from steamy lowland rainforest to windswept alpine meadows. Biologists Smith and Schneider , studying the differences between these adjacent populations, are finding that natural selection in different ecological niches has pushed the birds down different evolutionary paths and created new species , even though the populations have not been isolated from each other geographically.
