Arizona is home to several species of hummingbirds that have traveled north and settled here. The most popular is Anna’s hummingbird and is the one featured in this photo. They fly fast with over 50 flaps per second and fly up, down, and sideways. It is fascinating to watch the hummingbirds outside my patio, especially how dominant they are about the feeder. This little guy hangs out in the tree all day, constantly switching branches and drinking some of the nectar for no more than 1 minute at a time so you better be quick if you want to catch one.
