About the bird:
This is the only
hummingbird species found east of the
Great Plains.
Range:
Summers in the U.S., east of
the Mississippi River and in western
Canada.
About the photo:
Because
hummers are constantly on the
move, we’re often left longing for a
close-up view. Here, Adam’s Bird-
Cam makes that possible.
