Happy National Hummingbird Day!
As the smallest birds in the world to migrate, hummingbirds don’t have a flock to journey with. They’re solo travellers, which makes it all the more remarkable that they also have one of the longest treks of any species on the planet. Some travel 12,000 kilometres each year on a clockwise route, beating their tiny little wings more that 50 times a second to reach Mount Robson each June.
