Today is National Hummingbird Day!

Are you a winner?

I couldn’t let this day pass without a little celebration to honor these amazing creatures.

The first Saturday in September is National Hummingbird Day.

Did you know?

• Hummingbirds are some of the smallest birds in the world, yet they can fly up to 60 miles per hour.

• They travel thousands of miles each year during migrations.

• Hummingbird’s wings move in a figure-8 motion that allows them to fly in all different directions. They can even fly upside down and backward!

• Hummingbirds are important pollinators for many of our wildflowers.

  As they feed, they spread pollen among plants - making them vital to the health of ecosystems worldwide. Some spread more pollen than bees!

• These little sweeties typically weigh only four grams fully grown!

• Hummingbirds have a lifespan of three to nine years.

• Hummingbirds are why I love summertime!
