Hummingbird Migration Takes an Incredible Journey

"It seems almost impossible that a hummingbird could even exist. A bird no bigger than a large beetle, covered with feathers that glow and sparkle in the sun, it hovers on wings that beat more than 50 times per second, dancing in front of colorful flowers to sip sweet nectar. That would make it remarkable enough. But on top of that, some hummingbirds migrate long distances— hundreds of miles, or even thousands—leaving cold climates for the winter and returning in the spring. Read on for insights into how they accomplish these amazing travels."  Comment from Birds and Blooms

The hummingbirds don't come to my part of the world, at least I have never seen them.  I have even put out the feeders in the past.  Very disappointing.
