Ruby-throated hummingbirds thrive in areas where wooded edges meet water, often found near flowers like jewelweed and cardinal lobelia. Their diet consists mainly of nectar from flowers, as well as insects and small spiders caught mid-air or plucked from blossoms. These lively birds are drawn to artificial feeders, making them popular garden visitors. The male boasts a striking red throat, while the female's is less vibrant. Observing their rapid wing beats, reaching up to 53 times a second, showcases their incredible agility in flight.
