The Calliope Hummingbird is a small bird native to North America, known for its vibrant plumage and remarkable flying abilities. Males are distinguished by their iridescent green back and striking magenta throat, while females have a more subdued coloration. These birds are typically found in mountainous regions during the breeding season, migrating to warmer areas in the winter. Calliope Hummingbirds are among the smallest birds in the world, measuring about 3 to 4 inches in length. They primarily feed on nectar from flowers, using their long, specialized bills to access the sweet liquid. Their rapid wing beats allow them to hover in place, making them agile foragers.
