Hummingbirds are New World birds that constitute the family Trochilidae. They are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring in the 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) range. Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5-cm bee hummingbird, weighing less than a U.S. penny (2.5g).

They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, typically around 50 times per second, allowing them also to fly at speeds exceeding 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph), backwards.

Hummingbirds have the highest metabolism of any homeothermic animal. To conserve energy when food is scarce, and nightly when not foraging, they go into torpor, a state similar to hibernation, slowing metabolic rate to 1/15th of its normal rate.

Now that you know a bit about hummingbirds, help Humm-dinger migrate as much as his real life counterparts. Help him in his mission to see the world! Post pictures of him at your local landmarks, no matter how significant or insignificant you may feel the landmark is. Post the name of the landmark and the city it's located in so Humm-dinger's owner (me) can see where he's been! Remember, keep him moving! After all, bird's love to fly! Thanks!

Dropped this cute little bug on Vancouver Island. There are lots of flight- related caches nearby for HAG XV. There is even a hummingbird cache on a nearby island... perhaps it will make its way there!
