Ruby-Throated Hummingbirds are the most skillful flyers of all the birds and it is the only species that can fly backwards. Because it can hover, fly up, down, forward, backward and sideways, at amazing speeds up to 55 mph., it virtually has no predators. Hummers drink flower nectar and eat small insects constantly throughout the day and hibernate at night to conserve energy. With no help from the male, the female can raise 2-3 broods of offspring each season. The mother builds her walnut sized nest of borrowed silk and web of insects and decorates it with moss and lichen. If she survives, she will return year after year to the same spot to nest.
