Description
The smallest bird in the world is a hummingbird…and it's lighter than a dime! Hummingbirds are named for the distinctive sound made by their tiny beating wings, and are admired for their vibrantly colored iridescent plumage. Their ability to hover, with wings beating between 12 and 90 times a second, and to fly backwards makes them different from all other birds. Of the 338 known species of Hummingbird worldwide there are around 50 in Costa Rica. The Rufous-tailed Hummingbird is probably the commonest hummer in the country and thus is taken as the standard by which all others species found in Costa Rica are to be measured. It is found in all regions and at even the highest elevations. At 4″ in size it is considered a ‘medium-sized’ hummingbird. It has a repetitive early morning twitter, delivered from a perch, that is rarely heard at other times of the day.
