According to my 'Birds of Michigan' book, the Ruy-throated hummingbird is the only hummingbird regularily seen in Michigan.
No other bird is as tiny.
Its the only bird able to fly backwards.
The wings flap 50-60 time a minute.
The heart pumps 1,260 beats per minute.
It breathes 250 time per minute.
It weighs 2 to 3 grans.
Five average hummingbirds about equals the weight of one chickadee.

Hummers are tough!



They’re quite good if you braise them for several hours, but there’s not a lot of meat on them.
