Hummingbirds eat like a wood chipper, voracious. They eat more insects than nectar. They can lose 10% of their body weight overnight while sleeping, unless they go into a torpor where they only lose 1% but are extremely vulnerable. So how do they eat enough and travel? |
Fly with their mouths open? Worked for me when I rode my motorcycle.

I's just comb my beard when I got home.
Enough bugs for a sammich. |

The two Bald Eagle nests with spycams on Santa Cruz Island are bustling.
One has one young chick and the other three rapidly growing ones. This morning the Sauces nest (bottom) Mom has a bloody beak and tail from the breakfast Dad brought awhile ago. https://www.nps.gov/chis/learn/photo...gle-webcam.htm |
Sorry, Mom above is at Fraser Point.

And getting no rest because the little bastards won't settle down. :haha:

Golden Gate Osprey nest cam, one of the birbs brought a stuffed monkey back to the nest. Well the little one will hatch soon and they can have a toy.
Hanover Iggles are on any-minute-now hatching watch. People say you can hear the baby birbs chirping from within the aigs. |

Dahlgren Naval Station osprey, beating the Golden Gate osprey, now has 4 stuffed animals :D
|
Ospreys are supposed to fish, not raid daycare centers.
I fear for the brood. |
You guys didn't have stuffed animals when you was babbies?:eyebrow:
