Description

"Hummer's Paradise", is an original oil painting on panel by Janis Tafoya. Here are a few facts about

lovely Hummingbirds...





All birds are fascinating creatures, but there are many facts about hummingbirds that make them astonishing to even experienced birders. From physiological facts to lifestyle facts to distribution facts, hummingbirds are some of the most interesting of the nearly 10,000 bird species in the world.
1.There are more than 325 hummingbird species in the world. Only 8 species regularly breed in the United States, though up to two dozen species may visit the country.


2.A hummingbird�s brilliant throat color is not caused by feather pigmentation, but rather by iridescence in the arrangement of the feathers and the influence of light level, moisture and other factors.


3.Hummingbirds cannot walk or hop, though their feet can be used to scoot sideways while they are perched.


4.The calliope hummingbird is the smallest bird species in North America and measures just 3 inches long. The bee hummingbird is the smallest species and measures 2.25 inches long.

Hummingbirds, just another way to show us that our creator does care for
us, to create such lovely interesting birds for us to enjoy...
