Other scientists fascinated by these mesmerizing birds have bestowed upon them names such as purple-crowned fairy, green-breasted mango, glittering-throated emerald, sapphire-vented puffleg, fiery topaz, peacock coquette, and shining sunbeam. By the late 19th century, hummingbirds were well-known in Europe, but with fame came exploitation. A growing market in London and other European cities for their skins, bodies, and feathers fueled the killing of hundreds of thousands of hummingbirds. Feathers were used for hat decorations. The skins were used in collections and to make artificial flowers and dust catchers. Preserved hummingbird bodies were paired with flowers and arranged like museum dioramas on top of women's hats. The trade in hummingbirds escalated to a point where, in a single year, one London dealer imported 400,000 hummingbird skins from the West Indies. Not until the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, which prohibited commercial trade in any migratory bird species or its feathers, were conservationists in the United States able to change the tide of fashion and slow the decline in hummingbird populations. The number of species already driven extinct by that time remains a mystery.

(Jim Hamilton photo) The results, which appeared this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) Online Early Edition, show a clear decline in hummingbirds' lifting ability with altitude, not unlike that seen in athletes competing at high elevations. What this means for hummingbirds is less reserve power for the bursts of flight needed to chase off competitors or escape from predators, said researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and the California Institute of Technology. "The costs of hovering flight are the same across elevations because hummingbirds compensate by having larger wings and by having a larger stroke amplitude," said study leader Douglas Altshuler, a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech. "However, that compensation doesn't come for free. They don't have as much excess power at high elevations as they do at low elevations."

155. Hummingbirds hummingbirds must feed often, and will visit hundreds of flowers each day to hummingbirds are highly attracted to the color red. All shades of red, http://www.olbrich.org/Library/Staff Articles/hummingbirds.htm

Hummingbirds by: Christy Lewis What could make a more enchanting addition to your garden than the dancing visit of a hummingbird? These living objects of 'garden art' add movement, life, and color to our summer garden landscapes. The tiny birds will delight and excite the 'little people' of your householdand perhaps a few of the 'big people', too! Here in the eastern United States, we are visited by only one species of hummingbird, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. But what a beautiful little jewel it is! Males and females are iridescent green above, and white below. The male is characterized by its bright ruby-red throat. The tiny birds are about three and one-half inches long. Hummingbird flowers are characterized by several specialized traits. They must be rich in nectar, which fuels the birds' high metabolisms. Hummingbirds must feed often, and will visit hundreds of flowers each day to gather the necessary nectar. Tubular-shaped flowers, like salvias, are easily accessed by the hummingbird's long, thin beak. And the hummer's ability to hover makes it especially adept at extracting nectar from pendant, or hanging, flowers like those of the fuchsia. Fragrance is not a factor in attracting hummingbirds. In addition, the typical hummingbird plant produces multiple flowers in open clusters, so that the bird may sip from many flowers at one stop. This helps to conserve its precious energy. The flowers should be on the outside of the plant and away from foliage, so that the hummer may feed without hitting its constantly whirring wings.

Week of April 10, 2004; Vol. 165, No. 15 , p. 229 Flex That Bill: Hummingbirds' surprising insect-catching style Susan Milius High-speed videos of hummingbirds catching fruit flies show that the birds' lower bills are unexpectedly flexible, say researchers. In three species with straight, narrow bills, the lower half can bend downward part way along its length, even though it has no joint, says Gregor M. Yanega of the University of Connecticut in Storrs. The motion also flares open a bird's mouth to gape extra wide. BENT FOR BUGS. To catch a fruit fly, a ruby-throated hummingbird (left to right) opens its bill and then widens its gape and adds extra downward slant to the lower jaw. Yanega These moves come in the final fractions of a second in a hummingbird's attempt to snag an insect out of the air, Yanega and his Connecticut colleague Margaret A. Rubega report in the April 8 Nature . The researchers say that they appear to be the first to document these bug-nabbing refinements. Earlier studies had shown that the upper bill can bend, but the lower one had seemed rigid.

Better yet, how many can celebrate it with a cut on a chart-climbing soundtrack, a richly detailed book that documents their legacy, and a new album that shows them at their soul-stirring best? Only one group qualifies - the Dixie Hummingbirds. This year, as the iron men of gospel mark three quarters of a century in song, Bob Dylan has featured them on the soundtrack of his film "Masked and Anonymous," and Oxford University Press has published the highly acclaimed history Great God A'Mighty! The Dixie Hummingbirds by Penn State scholar Jerry Zolten. On October 7, Rounder Records will join the party with the release of Diamond Jubilation , a CD that makes it abundantly clear what all the fuss is about.
