Ruby Throated Hummingbird
Hummingbirds split from their sister group, the swifts and tree swifts, around 42 million years ago. The common ancestor of extant hummingbirds is estimated to have lived 22 million years in South America. They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings, which flap at high frequencies audible to humans.
