“Diving In”
Judy Royal GlennPhotography
This is an immature male ruby-throated hummingbird. Hummingbirds
are great pollinators. They eat one and a half to three times their body weight
in nectar and insects a day. So, they must visit 1,000 to 2,000 flowers every
day!!
They can’t smell but use their near ultraviolet
vision to direct them to the flowers.
We have a hummingbird at our house that I named
Blonde. I know when I see her because her head is covered in pollen:)
