Hummingbird - High Speed

    Submitted for Photo Friday. High Speed.

    Hummingbirds are capable of speeds of up to 100 km/h. When hovering or in flight, they beat their wings 55 to 75 times a second.

    Love these guys. We stood (and eventually got chairs) at the window for an hour to catch these guys in action. This is the male, but the female was around, too.
