Hummingbirds really do know the words, they just hum because they beat their wings so rapidly (12-80 times per second)!
All photos were taken Guango Lodge, at 2700m in the cloud forest on the eastern slope of the Andean Mountains in Ecuador.

I've heard that one. But the images are superb, as always. Happy Christmas DBM!
Interesting spam above. Louboutin, the choice of footwear for every jungle expedition :-)
Great photos and haha about the humming.
Happy New Year,

Beautiful pictures! I think I prefer the first explanation. The second is so pedestrian .. if such a word can be applied to flight!
