Ruby throated hummingbird

Like other hummingbirds, ruby-throated hummingbirds typically drink nectar while hovering in front of a flower. They typically make their nests out of soft plant material on the inside and camouflaging lichen, moss and tree bark on the outside; the nests are held together with spider webs. Many of these birds migrate long distances, sometimes flying nonstop to southern Mexico and throughout Central America.
