The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is the only breeding hummingbird in eastern North America. Hovering in front of a flower to sip nectar, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird beats its wings more than 50 times per second. Despite their small size, impressive migrants may migrate from Canada to Costa Rica. In general, hummingbird feeders are safe, but they should be placed out of reach of cats and windows, avoid red food coloring, and cleaned often.
