Humans can effect Hummingbirds in positive or negative ways.Some positive ways are that Humans plant trees for shelter, and nectar inside of the flowers people plant.Some negative ways are that they cut down those trees or take away places that were buildings that the Hummingbirds used for shelter near the buildings.
There are two species of hummingbirds that are native to New England. They are the ruby-throated hummingbird and the rufous hummingbird.
A Rufous Hummingbird has a wingspan of 3 - 4 cm and can flap/beat thier wings about 200 times a second
There are over 338 species of Hummingbirds, 16 species are found in North America and 3 are native to Florida. They are Black-chinned Hummingbird, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, and Rufous Hummingbird.
The Ruby-throated hummingbird is the only hummingbird to breed East of the Mississippi River. However, the Rufous hummingbird is a migrant (meaning that it occasionally) ventures out of its territory. So the Rufous has been spotted in Pennsylvania rarely. The Ruby-throated hummingbird is easy to identify. The iridescent feathers on the neck(gorget) of the male Ruby-throated are ruby colored in sunlight.
There are many types of hummingbirds, with over 350 cataloged. The most common include the Allen's Hummingbird, Anna's Hummingbird, Black-Chinned Hummingbird, Blue-Throated, Broad-Tailed, Buff-Bellied, Costa's, Lucifer, Magnificent, Ruby-Throated, Rufous, Violet-Crowned, and White-Eared. There are even albino, which are called either White or Albino. Others include the Jamaican Mango, Ruby-Topaz Hummingbird, Volcano Hummingbird, Gorgeted Puffleg, and Xantus's Hummingbird.
Bumblebee Hummingbird is one of the smallest hummingbirds at 2.75 inches with green upperparts, sides, and white underparts. The gorget is violet-red and the rounded tail is green with a rufous base. For more information and pictures, please visit the websites listed below.
