    Small but mighty, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) can migrate far distances, from Canada to Costa Rica. It’s even been known to fly over the Gulf of Mexico in a single shot! Its wide range covers much of eastern North America and parts of Central America. The fast-fluttering bird—which can beat its wings more than 50 times a second—feeds on the nectar of red or orange tube-shaped flowers, but it also munches on the occasional insect, like a mosquito or fruit fly. It will even pluck pre-caught insects off of a spider’s web! 🕸
