Hummingbirds are birds in the family Trochilidae, and are endemic to the Americas. They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 15–200 times per second (depending on the species). They can fly backwards, and are the only group of birds able to do so. They can travel 60 miles per hour.
Considering the height of this pine, I had to go full zoom just to get this close. I also didn't want to get too close physically, lest I scare her away. She did insist on making a few flitting circles about the tree during my pestering, however.
