I would like to invite you to post your spottings of hummingbirds in the new mission for Hummingbirds of the New World:

Fun fact! Although they are among the tiniest of all birds, hummingbirds have proportionately the largest brain of the bird kingdom, weighing in at over 4 % of their body weight. https://upload.facebook.com/projectnoah/...
