Why Hummingbird?

Hummingbirds are amazingly adaptive creatures.  There are more than 300 known species of Hummingbird inhabiting ecological regions across South America, North America, and the Caribbean, with an ever enlarging evolutionary radiation.  And, when environmental conditions change hummingbirds change with them, developing new adaptations that help them thrive regardless of what nature throws at them.

Every Hummingbird species is unique, even if it has close relatives. Some, like the Mallards, are generalists that can survive on every continent except Antarctica.  Other species, like the Nene are specialists that live in a more restricted range with special dietary or habitat requirements.  Nene’s have very little webbing between their toes, an adaptation for walking on the jagged volcanic rock of their Hawaiian habitat.  Still others, like the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, have both specialist and generalist characteristics.   All hummingbirds have a long, narrow beak and a long tongue with a hair covered tip adapted to reach and pull nectar from tubular flowers.  And, with their excellent memories, they store all past feeding sources for ease of reference and future use.  A hummingbird has very large eyes located on the sides of the head which provide visibility both forward and sideways simultaneously, allowing them to spot food and predator alike.  Hummingbirds are not only fast, they can fly forward and backward, and can change directions quickly.  With a shoulder joint that can rotate up to 180 degrees; they move with not only speed but precision. South American hummingbirds beat their wings so swiftly and articulate them so accurately that they can hang in the air in front of a flower, appearing motionless.
