This hummingbird has its wings resting in standby mode only—not flapping as is usually the case when the tiny helicopter-like animals take on food. Stopping at other flowers though, it did hover—its wings a blur—beating anywhere from 50 to 80 times per second. The young visitor sticks out its tongue to lap up nectar by extending and contracting it a dozen times per second. The bird used a type of chirping sound in the photographer’s yard near town. ©Provost News Photo.
