Next Arkansas Hummingbirds Hummingbirds are a unique part of Arkansas' fauna, providing enjoyment to thousands who have sugar water feeders. Not only are hummingbirds an important part of our backyard bird watching, they are a necessary part of the life cycle of many flowering plants. Hummingbirds can be attracted to backyards and apartment balconies by providing them with nectar rich flowers or sugar water feeders. It is true that hummingbirds are attracted to the color red, but be sure to not color the water...just purchase a red feeder. Three hundred and forty hummingbird species are found around the world, but only nine have been observed in Arkansas. Only one, the ruby-throated

62. Hummingbirds (Trochiliformes) An introduction to biology, classification and ecology of Trochiliformes (hummingbirds) http://www.earthlife.net/birds/trochiliformes.html

Hummingbirds Hummingbirds are small colourful birds, in areas where they occur they are seen in peoples gardens. Their hovering, or sudden darting flight is very distinctive allowing most people to recognise them immediately. The smallest species is the Bee Hummingbird ( Mellisuga helenae ) which is also the smallest bird in the world. The largest species is the Giant Hummingbird ( Patagonia gigas ) which is 20 cm (8 in) in length and weights about 20g, 2/3 of an ounce. Not really that big you might think, but quite large for a hummingbird with their high energy demands Hummingbirds are all very similar structurally they are related to swifts and have similarly short legs and reduced bones in their wings. They do not walk and use their legs and feet only for perching. They are therefore excellent flyers capable of flying sideways, backwards and of hovering with high precision. Their wing beat rate varies from 8-10 beats per second in the Giant Hummingbirds through 20-25 beats per second in the mid-sized species to 70 beats per second in the smaller species. The name Hummingbird comes from the sound made by the wings in flight. Hummingbirds have a body temperature of around 105 degrees F, higher than most birds. To maintain this temperature throughout the night would require very large reserves of energy. The Hummingbirds avoid this problem by letting their body temperature drop during the night. Below a certain temperature hummingbirds can enter a state of torpor. Migratory species and those with more northerly, southerly or mountain distributions tend to fall into torpor more fully during the night. Whether or not a particular bird enters torpor overnight depends not only on the air temperature, but also on how much the bird was able to find to eat around dusk.

Hummingbirds (family Trochilidae ) are small birds capable of hovering in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings (fifteen to eighty beats per second, depending on the size of the bird). They are named for the characteristic hum made by their wings and are the only birds that can deliberately fly backwards. Hummingbirds are attracted to many flowering plants — shrimp plants fuchsias , many penstemons , etc. — especially those with red flowers. They feed on the nectar of these plants and are important pollinators , especially of deep-throated flowers. Most species of hummingbird also eat insects. Hummingbirds bear the most glittering plumage and some of the most elegant adornments. Male hummingbirds are usually brightly coloured, females duller. The males take no part in nesting.

69. Hummingbirds Both the swifts and hummingbirds belong to the order Apodiformes. hummingbirds are most well known for their rainbow colors and the brilliant iridescent http://aviary.owls.com/hummingbird/hummer.html

THERE are 320 species of this smallest of all birds. They are confined to the Americas and constitute the family Trochilidae. Both the swifts and hummingbirds belong to the order Apodiformes. The hummingbird's range is from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego and from lowlands up to the snow line at 16,000 feet in Ecuador. The area where the species is most abundant is in the subtropical zone of Columbia and Ecuador. 133 species can be found in Columbia. There are 18 species in the United States. Hummingbirds are most well known for their rainbow colors and the brilliant iridescent plumage of the males. They have short legs and small feet, narrow wings and long primary feathers. The rapid wing beat, seen as a blur, may be as much as 90 or more beats per second, which produces a loud humming sound. The highly specialized bill is slender, usually straight, from 1/3 inch to 5 inches long. The tubular tongue probes flowers for tiny insects and nectar as the bird hovers in mid-air. Only the hummer is capable of true backward flight. The voice is a rasping series of notes. The nest is a little cup of plant down held together with plant fibers and spider webs. Some species use bits of lichens. The nest is less than one inch across the opening. Two tiny elliptical white eggs are laid. The female, alone, protects the eggs and young. It takes about two weeks to hatch the young. Born blind and naked, they are fully feathered and ready to leave the nest in three weeks.

What to do if you find a wild animal Hummer Hints download Hummer Hints PDF The guidelines provided here are only for temporary care for hummingbirds until a wildlife rehabilitator/ center can be contacted for assistance. Wildlife rehabilitators/Centers are issued special permits by the State and Federal governments to care for native wildlife. It is illegal to have native birds and mammals in your possession without the proper permits. Many hours of training go into caring for wildlife. These birds require specialized treatment, care and diets to help ensure a successful release back into the wild. Hummingbirds are the smallest bird species found in the world. They can hover, fly backwards and at times upside-down! Their wings beat up to seventy-eight times per second. They feed from flowers that contain nectar to support their aerial acrobatics and rapid metabolism. In addition, they eat insects to fulfill their need for protein. Hummingbirds must eat often and may die quickly if no food source is available. If you have found a hummingbird, please call Project Wildlife (or another wildlife rehabilitation center in your area) at once.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird Archilochus colubris Cool fact: The northward migration of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in spring appears to coincide with the flowering of certain key plants along their route, including red buckeye ( Aesculus pavia ), clove currant ( Ribes odoratum ), and columbine ( Aquilegia canadensis ). At the northern limits of their range, in Saskatchewan, they have been seen visiting sap wells drilled by sapsuckers before most plants have begun flowering. Listen to a recording of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird from the Library of Natural Sounds: Ruby-throated Hummingbird k] Monarda didyma ) in New York and impatiens in North Dakota. In addition to nectar, small insects are an important part of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird's diet. Small flies, bees, wasps, and spiders are taken at flowers, but they are also gleaned from bark or found beside sapsucker's sap wells. At times, these hummingbirds feed by flycatching in clouds of gnats. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have one of the longest migration paths of any hummingbird. Early researchers concluded that migrants could not cross the Gulf of Mexico because the energy demands of a 500-mile journey were beyond the capabilities of such a small bird. Later, it was believed that Ruby-throated Hummingbirds put on enough fat before migration to meet the demands of such a flight. It is now believed that at least some of the population makes the flight from Florida to Yucatan. The majority however, migrates around the Gulf through Texas and northern Mexico to winter in Central America as far south as Panama.

Instead, it prefers specific feeder locations.
