The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is a small bird native to North America, known for its vibrant green back and striking ruby-red throat in males. These birds typically measure about 3 to 4 inches in length and weigh around 3 to 4 grams. They are often found in gardens, woodlands, and near nectar-rich flowers, where they feed on nectar using their long, specialized bills. During migration, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird travels from North America to Central America, covering distances of up to 500 miles non-stop over the Gulf of Mexico. They are known for their incredible flying abilities, including hovering and rapid flight, which help them evade predators and access food sources efficiently.
