The hummingbirds are back in upstate New York. We have feeders around the house and it is taking us pleasure observing these colourful birds. Their heartbeat can reach as high as 1260 beats per minute, a rate once measured in a Blue-throated hummingbird. They also typically consume more than their own weight in food each day, and to do that they have to visit hundreds of flowers daily.
