Description

It is amazing to me how you can find incredible beauty everywhere. This Broad-tailed Hummingbird was photographed in the front garden of a restaurant not far from where I live in Colorado. The relationship between flower and bird is so perfect...

From cornell: a jewel of high mountain meadows, male broad-tailed hummingbirds fill the summer air with a loud, metallic trills as they fly. hummingbirds breed at elevations up to 10,500 feet where nighttime temperatures regularly plunge below freezing. to make it through a cold night, they slow their heart rate and drop their body temperature, entering a state of torpor. as soon as the sun comes up, displaying males show off their rose-magenta throats while performing spectacular dives. after attracting a mate, females raise the young on their own.

Photo take in Colorado near Louisville.
